J.E. Sunde - "Love Gone to Seed"

The latest from J.E. Sunde is quite simple in its brilliance. "Love Gone to Seed" is a fun pop-tinged Americana song with an upbeat feel. The Minneapolis singer/songwriter is nailing the mainstream neo-folk thing perfectly, and there is plenty here for fans of bands like The Avett Brothers to absolutely love here. But Sunde has his own unique vibe that is just slightly left of center enough to satisfy the music snobs, too. It could be his perfect use of instrumentation lingering in the background just enough to keep it interesting, or his Bob Dylan putting a little more effort into singing vocal style, but "Love Gone to Seed" will work for virtually anyone.

According to J.E. Sunde: "this song is about a relationship ending. Probably one whose ending is for the best, even as the fellow is futilely attempting to save it. One partner is trying to hold onto something that has run its course while the other holds the belief that for love to be true and worth pursuing there should be no need for a person to compromise in any way."
