A tapering tapestry of intricate acoustic strings, Simon Linsteadt’s supple and intimate alt-folk odyssey on ‘Golden Hinde’ is nothing short of being the most warm and sunny piece you’re bound to hear this week. The sleepy and lackadaisical tune is the perfect tune to put you at ease after a long day’s work or stress when you’re just looking for a song that not only offers escape, but also feels like a helping hand. It feels like a quiet corner, an escape from the madness and mayhem of the day to day, a moment of solace amongst the chaos of life around you.
It’s an immensely soothing and serene experience, the kind of subtly endearing and slowly enchanting piece of guitar driven folk that feels a bit in the distance sonically but emotionally strikes you at your core. Listen to this wonderful song about a place, a moment, and an emotion and let it take you where it may.
