My Politic (from album Signs of Life

My Politic (from album Signs of Life as a self-release) (by Danny McCloskey)
 
Bright acoustic guitar sparkle like stars in a night sky as My Politic check the weather and time for “Two in the Morning”, the cut that opens the recent release from the Indie Folk duo, Signs of Life. Carefully walking the line between personal and universal, the album questions the future (“Will We Ever Make It Out of Heaven”), balances the past and present (“Still Growing Today”), ponders a lifetime of beliefs (“Drifting Around the Ocean”), and assesses the path that our lives take (“A Funny Place to Find Yourself”).
 
The pair (Kaston Guffey and Nick Pankey) explain their mission statement on the caffeinated rhythms of the title track, stating that ‘maybe I'm doing alright. It's so hard to tell what's true sometimes. Maybe I'm doing alright. Out here searching for signs of life’.  After growing up together in the Ozarks, My Politic have been searching for versions of the truth over fifteen years as a band and ten album releases. The signature sound of My Politic is acoustic guitar strums and rich harmonies. My Politic admit ‘I hardly write sad songs in minor keys’ as they lay out their own truths with “No Other Way” while they relate to the people and world around them for “Living Lean”. Signs of Life listens to hopes with “Who Could Ask for More” and quietly witnesses our day to day lives in “The Lonely 21stCentury”. My Politic sing of endings for “I Took All the Pictures Down”, presenting an overview of the world as it stands with “From the Early Days” and exit the album claiming “I’d Rather Have Some”.
