Washington D.C.’s freshest trailblazer, Jake Embers, laid it all down on the evocative line with his latest single, YOU, which lures you in with a lo-fi bedroom pop sequence scored by his ethereal falsetto vocal lines and minimalist instrumentals before bursting into a crescendo of alt-rock. Further into the self-produced single, elements of trap, RnB, and post-rock work their way into the fearlessly blended sonic landscape until there were no more boundaries left to push.
When you experience a track in this vein, which mainlines pure genre-fluid experimentalism to evoke visceral emotion, you realise just how safe other alternative artists play it. YOU stratospherically transcends the archetypal and the Avant-Garde alike to invite you into a vortex of originated alchemy.
