DIRTY BEACHES - "Lord Knows Best"

'Dirty Beaches' is a vehicle for Taiwan born, Canadian based, musician Alex Zhang Hungtai. His soundscapes are dark with a retro feel, which could easily soundtrack the films of Jim Jarmusch or particularly David Lynch's 'Wild at Heart., "Lord Knows Best" is a slow crooning number with delicate piano... but the dark side still dominates with the distortion and low-fi cinematic vibe that is at odds with the delicateness. But, then again, 'Dirty Beaches' are far from conventional.
