Real music is gracefully storming through the airwaves this month, blessing the indie scene with artists and musicians crafting original, live instrumental and vocal compositions, within which you can hear the humanity and authenticity.
Enter LA-based songwriter and flamenco guitarist Julian Tcherassi – a musician with over 18 years of experience performing and composing, now launching a profoundly inspiring independent single, which brings together multiple genres in a boldly unique but sonically gentle and immersive fashion.
Designed to remind listeners to chase their dreams no matter what, a song built around the striking truth that we can never guarantee tomorrow will arrive, Chasing Rainbows unites elements of energetic flamenco and classical guitar playing, recorded in a live acoustic setting that completely captivates from the start, and then weaves in a softly distinct vocal melody form Julian Tcherassi on the mic.
At this point, Chasing Rainbows enters a kind of alternative folk territory, tipping its hat melodically and structurally towards acts such as Jeff Buckley and even Radiohead. We soon get a softer acoustic guitar interlude of sorts, another moment of clear intention and design, before Tcherassi’s playing builds back the vibrancy and passion, towards the enchanting final quarter of this post-five-minute journey.
Unique in everything from lyric and instrumentation to structure and performance, Julian Tcherassi brings a clear level of artistic identity to modern music – not to mention a refreshingly unfiltered live ability. Chasing Rainbows is an original song that would no doubt stop you in your tracks if you were to witness it on stage, and furthermore, it promises an audio-experience and vocal style that’s hypnotic, interesting, evocative, and gorgeously inspired.
