‘Downtown’ is the latest zanily artsy indie pop release from the authentic-by-design artist Blunt Objects. As society becomes increasingly more insular and reliant on digital connection, the mastermind behind the alternative project, Bill Owens, reminds us of the beauty in community.
With a similar lyrical theme to Petula Clark’s Downtown, Blunt Object ensured he made his instrumental mark with the kitschy amalgam of eccentric electro motifs and real instruments to create his classic-form pop track, which comes with a touch of Michael Stipe magic to the vocal lines. Thick with 70s nostalgia and touched with disco fever, Downtempo is an undeniable opportunity to grab some sonic serotonin.
Downtown is now available to stream on SoundCloud.
