Somewhere between the the homespun electronic beats and the classical-meets-folk-rock mini-orchestrations created by multi-instrumentalist Hrishikesh Hirway lies the remnants of someone else’s life and someone else’s pain. Like the soundtrack to some old reel-to-reel home movies that don’t belong to you, it sounds like a haunting look back at happier times that you can’t help but think may be completely gone. The projector is your stereo and the slides are the songs from This Too Will Pass, the most recent album from Hirway’s project The One AM Radio.

Sounding something remotely like the Postal Service meets Elliott Smith, the music is stunningly beautiful but equally as sad. This Too Will Pass sings with the intertwining melodies of hopelessness and urban isolation and sounds like regret and longing accompanied by music. Rays of sunshine still peek through the dark clouds like a glimmering beacon of hope and a light at the end of the tunnel. All hope is not lost. Even though those golden and time-worn memories might be faded, they aren’t yet gone. You’ve still got The One AM Radio to remind you.
