I struggle to remember the last time I sat in such excitement whilst listening to music; the journey you're taken on as a listener is fantastic. 10/10
It's now old news that for the release of their latest EP, Pacific Myth, the guys at Protest The Hero tried a slightly different method of delivering their album to the masses. Following the release of the final track, is this method potentially the future of music distribution?
What is there to say about this song! It really grabs you right from the start with an impressive a cappella intro provide a great insight into Henderson‘s incredible musical talent. This then builds into the verse without losing the a cappella parts; a challenging feat that is pulled off fantastically, giving really great harmonic depth the track. As it’s built around a variety of voices, each with their own line, they interact interacting in perfect polyphony, so the result in a lot of different melodies going in different directions, like in classical music, so there’s a lot more happening musically compare to in a guitar based backing when at most it can maybe play two lines through use of chords. When Finn‘s lead vocal enters you’re hit by a distinctive and outstanding voice; it provides a memorable lead melody, along with insightful and meaningful lyrics. I really love how intricate the backing vocals in the chorus are as well; it’s just an all round great track!
