At various points in the winding cut, Tare sings about smashing his thumb and gazing into a \u201cwater reflection\u201d over glacial electric guitar, twinkling keys and spacey, reversed sounds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cRed Light Water Show\u201d finds the multi-instrumentalist belting in a higher register over bubbling synth and processed vocal effects. On \u201cDisc One,\u201d he sings of savoring specific musical tones (including wah-wah and tuba) over a bouncy acoustic guitar figure and resonant bass.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The new EP features studio versions of songs Tare debuted on tours promoting his latest solo LPs, 2017\u2019s <em>Eucalyptus<\/em> and 2019\u2019s <em>Cows on Hourglass Pond<\/em>. In a statement about the release, he commented, \u201cEarly mornings at the bar. Deep conversations with a stranger. A Disney Night parade gone wrong.
