Jason Lytle’s voice had me pondering other singers that are easy to listen to. John Ross of Wild Pink has this effortless beauty to his singing. Very easy on the ears and I can see why Wild Pink is touring with the Antlers as Peter Silberman shares a similar kind of voice. So love this Brooklyn band who came out of nowhere 7 years ago and landed on the tiny label Tiny Engines. I’ve been a fan since, but they just keep getting better, in fact this latest single came out on 4/13/22, and it’s so gritty, emotional and gorgeous that it reminds me of Frightened Rabbit. It really takes me somewhere this morning, even though you can only decipher random breathy phrases. The song’s fuzzed out with a steady, driving tempo and is just full of conviction. Eventually the mix drowns in layered guitars and these angelic background vocals from Catherine Vianale. ♥️
