St. South‘s Olivia Gavranich has yet to release a full-length, but gems for a potential LP are piling up with this new single. Last year’s “Slacks” held all the components of great homemade pop, especially the arrangement, which blended the edge between organic live performance and that of the modern, point-and-click variety. Teaming with producer Koenski, “Get Good” presents a glossier frame to her knack for memorable melody and lyrical wit. It retains much of the intimate charm of the previous cut, too. Hear it above and revisit “Slacks” below (via Autumn Roses):
