The Daily Spin II

Azim Zain and His Lovely Bones | Between Who We Are and Who We Used to Be

Welcome back to the Daily Spin. For the uninitiated, this is the series in which I review an album every day of 2025.

As was the case two years ago, my favorite song from each album can be found at the playlist linked here.

Album: Between Who We Are and Who We Used to Be (2017)

Artist: Azim Zain and His Lovely Bones

Earnest, honest, and delicate, with a heavy warmth like a well-loved coat settling over your shoulders, Between Who We Are is one of the most poetically-named records I’ve reviewed over the two years of this series. Pair that with the lovely cover, and you’ve certainly got a recipe for an EP that, on the surface, does everything short of singing the siren’s call.

That’s where the actual music comes in. While I’m a little thrown by the Edward Sharpe of it all (and even then, I never really got too on the hate train for that guy, it’s just not really of its time anymore), the music is lovely - a comforting balm for the soul, light and airy when needed and very capable of soothing in any situation. It’s perfectly lovely for a mildly chilly winter’s eve.

Rating: 8/10
