With a curious guitar riff that piques your attention even if its the background, Nathaniel Paul’s ‘Bitter Melody’ is the right kind of quirky indie music for you to enjoy for a happy time. It’s a wildly creative record, filled with imagination and vivid colours to immerse yourself in. You can hear the instruments give rise to a palette that’s luscious and bright, just an all around resplendent but restrained canvass to admire. ‘Bitter Melody’ isn’t an opulent track, nor is it an overly romantic one. What it is, is a song that leans into its unorthodox delivery and arrangement, but completely confident in its wonderful and glittery aesthetic.
The singer-songwriter and producer from The Emmy award winning band ‘The Bergamot’ is set to release his sophomore album in the spring of 2022. If this lead single is anything to go by, fans of indie music from the veneer of Tame Impala and the likes will relish his record.
