Henrik Appel Offers Nothing to Lose
Already being a fan of Henrik Appel won’t set you up for his powerful new ballad; it’s something wholly enchanting, of the sort that you let close down your night. There’s also this sense of grandeur in the craft, using a huge piano track and Appel’s cooled delivery to create this intimate bravado. At times, it feels like a B-side on a Rolling Stones record, easily slipping into a more subtle format that highlights the elegant craft Henrik’s pulled off this go round. Really looking forward to spending a few hours with Shadows; the record drops on November 1st via PNKSLM.
Wanted to slink into Thursday with a little bit of reflective energy from LA’s Kvstles. It’s a home project that falls somewhere in the realm between Blank Dogs and Black Marble, albeit with a bit less pace. Bringing in deep-throated vocals builds the sadness in the lyrics, though that bright guitar line that dances in and out makes it difficult to not hear the sparkle of the melody. Something mellow and sweet to kick our day off here.
