Presenting “Little Man,” our first new piece of music in the digital single format.
Walk with us on this one, for it’s a soaring cradle-to-grave journey. The same journey we all make—little men, little women and Louisa May Alcott alike. “Little Man” is Eastern and mantra-like, in the vein of such NAD classics as “Cement Creek” and “Lullaby 14.” It could easily be the soundtrack to an early morning meditation, though we like it for exercising dogs.
Little Man [4:15]PLAY
Listen as a hoarfrost web of ukulele, xylophone, infant yelping and castanet collects lush, dewy layers of orchestral strings, toddler roars, faux-creepy-Swedish vocals, restless dogs, barroom piano, operatic belches and brass, becoming something all at once eternal and absolute.
