Bass guitar specialist Trey Graves is spiraling in his own inadequacies on the loosely released, "rockabye." And the only voice there to see him through it is alanna, a vocal cheat code and newly frequent collaborator on Trey's songs.

The self-produced song finds itself placed as the postscript to Graves's album "drft." Sticky bass licks lead the rhythm down serious melodic lines, but still clench this flexible rhythm snapped back to center by the swatting percussion patterns and cracked kicks. Colliding lyrics are slung from the trenches and construct a truce with his contrite melodies in the verse and drooling harmonies accompanied by alanna in the hook, feeding the motif of babyish treatment being the root, and maybe the cure, to their problems.

Graves turns out corpulent songs that are hard to remove from any rotation of music once they're in there. I find myself going back to each release. Trey Graves's "rockabye." will convince you to do the same.
