Combining a beat that almost sounds like you’re about to embark on a deep house journey with a slew of diverse and odd sound bites, Eddie Cohn’s ‘Underwater’ piques your interest in more ways than one. Not least of it all, Cohn’s gruff and expressive vocal performance is a delightful highlight on this alternative rock piece has you humming and singing along to his ‘hold me down underwater’ throughout the chorus and its encore-esque final section where that line is repeated again and again, giving you a sense of grounding and comfort amidst the chaos around us all.
‘Underwater’ is a strange track, not really a typical guitar or drum heavy rock piece but a more subtle and flowing piece. It’s carried by a singer-songwriter who’s vocal delivery is sublime throughout, carrying with it equal doses of swagger and substance. A comforting and reassuring piece in trying times.
