Another Grant Pavol Tune

Not too long ago we brought you a track from the Grant Pavol EP (it had the backing of Shamir), and now Grant’s ready to share another of such tunes. I’m really seeing this one as two different songs, even though the running time doesn’t even eclipse the 2 minute mark. He opens with this light strum and heavy pop vocal line; it’s the sort of presentation that coffee shop kids in the 00s would have adored. But, around the 30 second mark you can begin to hear this slight electronic pulse beneath, and that completely takes over in the song’s latter half, then opens for one last vocal delivery before the song comes to a halt. Accidental Popstar Records will release the Okay EP on May 17th.

Give Grant Pavol a Listen

Lately I’ve just been thinking about music as the soundtrack for various occasions in life, and in my mind, this new Grant Pavol track feels like reaching the apex of some huge achievement, perhaps the cliched mountain climb and looking down below; there’s some sort of natural euphoria emanating that I can’t explain. The song has this intimate expansiveness, which is a perfect juxtaposition…that seems to be something this song pursues, especially with the strumming and more intricate guitar work fighting for the perfect balance within the confines of the track. This tune appears on the Okay EP, dropping May 17th via Accidental Popstar Records so keep an ear out!
