919-834-4001Donkeys, Buxton, Troy Hancock
Intangibles put music writers in an awkward spot. For instance, there is something special about The Donkeys, a San Diego outfit that washes strung-out Crazy Horse jams in laid-back psychedelics. Their formula isn't groundbreaking. The songwriting is good but not overwhelming. The melodies are strong and inviting but not exceptional. With The Donkeys, it's less about what they're playing than about how they're playing it. They make simple, weird ballads feel expansive just by the tone of Sam Sprague's voice. Difficult to explain, but exceedingly easy to like, The Donkeys are a reminder that overthinking something is often the easiest way to ruin it. Buxton and Troy Hancock also play. —Jordan Lawrence
