Altered Zones

Chicago’s Young Man, otherwise known as Colin Caulfield, knows the magic of the five-year-old mind. His latest EP, simply titled Boy inhabits that space of child-like curiosity and joy, indulging in that familiar sense of moment-to-momentness - where there’s always time for another story, dinosaurs still exist and every new discovery titters on the euphoric. Every lingering melody and ariel sounscape on this EP plays like a new page in a child’s baby book, chronicling the short list of any young boy’s most predominant concerns – playtime, bedtime, growing and yes, more playtime. It’s juvenile in only the right ways, provoking images of wide-eyed innocence, shy giggles behind Mommy’s skirts and gangly, swinging legs that don’t quite yet reach the floor. (via Yours Truly)
