about

The one-off single “Goosebumps” from LA’s Gregory Uhlmann is an art-folk number about the elasticity of our perception of time. Depending on your mental state and what’s happening in your life at any given moment, time seems to move faster or slower. Uhlmann deftly reflects this perception with a composition that seems to subtly stretch the time between its softly strummed guitar, Uhlmann’s delicate lilt, and trotting drums. Atop meticulously placed auxiliary percussion, a tremolo’d, gurgling synth appears in the song’s climax as if to pull listeners in another direction and accelerate their experience of time, pulling them from the slow, repetitive lull of lockdown.

lyrics

the sigh
the fly on the wall
the cat’s cry
the sweet morning lull
drank a little too much last night
forgot my keys
didn’t turn off the lights

gives me goosebumps every time
you say
you say
you say

the line gets longer every day
the clock seems stuck
and I forget my name
the smokey air has got my lungs aflame
i stop to look
and nothing seems the same

sitting on the front porch
talking to the toaster
moving to the backyard
rearranging the silverware

gives me goosebumps every time
you say
you say
you say
