Sometimes we just relent and wallow in the wretched gray that won’t relent here on the coast.  And frequently we give up to a sorrowful soundtrack that ultimately provides comfort and catharsis.  Oupa’s songs provide that soundtrack this morning.

Oupa is the soft-side project of Daniel Blumberg of the un-yucky band, Yuck, and its first album, “Forget,” was released this past week on Fat Possum.  Check out the official videos of Oupa’s songs, Windows and Physical, below.  We particularly like the effects in the Windows video and the harmonies that wash in at 2:53.  No musical ground is being broken here, but there’s beauty to be found in this minor-chord melancholy.
