Somteimes it’s hard to explain why you are atttracted to a certain song or a certain artist. Sure, there’s always these direct melodies and/or lyrics that cut through your heart from the first moment, but I believe they are quite few for most of us. Many times I just get a hunch of what I will like. And then when I listen again it’s most often true, because it’s something that makes me feel good, makes me wake up, feel something special or something that I can I identify myself with, something that I want to hear more of.

When I and others then write about it it’s almost always a reconstruction after the event (I think), where I try to motivate in words what it was that caught me. And many times I find the seeds to why it did and then also try to relate to you what it is that I have listened to.

And sometimes, when it doesn’t work, when the words on why and how are not there, it’s really nothing strange, since we’re not rational beings. Like with Tractor Pulling People. Something caught me the moment I heard them, and after having listened to them many times, they still feel just right for me.

I like indie rock, but I can’t say that I know the genre very well, so I’ll skip the references this time. It feels close and direct, it feels genuine and… well it feels really good.

You can listen for yourself here to their latest EP “Sketches of Dark”. For the moment they have a pause in their songwriting, but you can listen to more songs at Tractor Pulling People’s Myspace page.
