\"\"<\/p>\n

Sometimes we just relent and wallow in the wretched gray that won’t relent here on the coast.\u00a0 And frequently we give up to a sorrowful soundtrack that ultimately provides comfort and catharsis.\u00a0 Oupa’s<\/strong> songs provide that soundtrack this morning.<\/p>\n

Oupa<\/a><\/strong> is the soft-side project of Daniel Blumberg<\/strong> of the un-yucky band, Yuck<\/a><\/strong>, and its first album, “Forget<\/strong>,” was released this past week on Fat Possum<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Check out the official videos of Oupa’s songs, Windows<\/strong><\/em> and Physical, <\/strong><\/em>below.\u00a0 We particularly like the effects in the Windows<\/em> video and the harmonies that wash in at 2:53.\u00a0 No musical ground is being broken here, but there’s beauty to be found in this minor-chord melancholy.<\/p>\n
