INFO: Night Driving in Small Towns are land dwellers. Having moved from small south Georgia towns to the city of Atlanta in 2008, the band has seen its share of topography. So has their music. Having navigated the spaces between artsy folk pop and brazen indie rock, their sound is sometimes gutsy, sometimes reserved, but always premeditated.

SONG (MP3): Horses

ALBUM: Speculation

INFO: At the time I suggested maybe those dense, colorful canvasses had something to do with “Decision”’s denser, bolder vibe than the Brooklyn/Köln crew’s whispered offerings. I stand by that. After watching this visually rich Jamie Harley-directed video, you’ll have some other angles.
