you can’t see the invisible sigh from a blanket of mites in a bed that can die and while you wallowed the perverted news they closed down the bars and the temperature hit you as this world keeps giving time you paused and breathed the great divide you washed away your faith your feet at rest, your mind a race he saw the mountain covered in the fog let us meet at the top where the people won't see us as you lay your body on a bed of grass. let me touch your face, let me hold your hand as the world keeps giving time you paused and breathed the great divide you washed away your faith your feet at rest you mind a race

your eyes go black no distance fixed a single point in time a thousand prints along the shore the shore of sound and it's my fault well hurry up mirrored twins perfect drinks make me sick scattered days along the shore the shore of sound and it's my fault

A Phrase 03:25
You found failure in the act of a song that is luck, luck, luck and a bad excuse is better than none that is luck, luck, luck a new found fence we constructed from pens the foundation was worn by the eyes of the shore and we didn’t sleep while the crows cackled our feet but she spins incomplete and the mind is just a memory and it’s luck he drinks water from a plastic cup that is luck, luck, luck and you bath in branch pulled from each of us that is luck, luck, luck a fond farewell to the gravity of sound we can blend in the crowd cut your hair, make mom proud and there is a phrase a watched man never plays as we sit and we wait for the end of the train and it’s luck

Out of Touch 03:41
I got lost, don't know how to fit in On the plane ride, there's no charity but I dreamed of a lasting divine I'm just a child on the rail lines And somehow you are out of touch there is a ghost down the longest parade I found you on the lawn on top of sailing men And I am drunk, drunk on chartreuse and wine I gotta away with this child-like mind And somehow you are out of touch somehow you, somehow are out of touch

about

Taking direction from both the cinematic song stylings of sardonic yet unfettered troubadours like Randy Newman, Brian Wilson, and Harry Nilsson and the “visual scoring” of indie pop song placement in 21st-century films, Best Move’s music suggests the sound of a decade of winding, disparate avenues finally convening in a perfect center. The Sacramento-based trio is composed of Kris Anaya, Joseph Davancens, and Fernando Oliva. Anaya, a talented songwriter with a penchant for wry, offbeat guitar-based folk-pop songs, and Davancens, who holds higher education degrees in avant-garde composition and jazz double bass, formed the electronic act Doombird together in 2016, but in 2019 the pair gravitated back to what they consider more natural inclinations: organic instruments, earnest songwriting, and a more true-to-themselves direction. Adding Oliva, Best Move was born.

Many of Best Move’s songs maintain an intentionally similar sonic feel. Guitars strum and piano twinkles while a layer of manipulated or synthesized instruments spread a hazy overtone on top of it all, and steady yet minimal drums keep things moving. Lyrically, the standards prevail—love, loss, friendship, searching for purpose—but the themes bubble under the surface of a sea of metaphor, leaving the listener to decipher the message in their own way. Anaya calls the sound a “thank you to the past,” and while a warm, familiar tone echoes throughout the band’s universe, something unmistakably modern remains.

about

Best Move Sacramento, California

Best Move’s debut album, Relational Memory, is an exercise in facing the present: not the end of your life, nor the beginning, but the murky middle. Fusing Jon Brion-esque melodies with the bittersweet sadness of Elliott Smith, the songs are about the memories that pile up in a town you’ve lived in for years, memories that expand in complexity and depth as we inevitably get older. ... more
