Devoted Welsh rockers Waterpistol are drawing in an increasing number of listeners right now. Their nostalgic style and original songwriting consistently blend laid-back vocals, catchy melodies, and infectious grooves, with structural songwriting that’s both satisfying and again links back to the psych rock era of the sixties.
Waterpistol’s latest release Où est ton âme, translating as Where is Your Soul, is an absolute gem of a track, and acts as a fine example of the natural appeal and optimistic embrace of their sound.
Essentially blending conceptual depth with stylistic lightness, Où est ton âme features a simple rise and fall guitar pattern, brilliantly tumbling drums, and distantly-mixed vocals that feel humble but perfectly expressive in this setting.
In addition, we get the support of contrasting female vocals, a lighter tone and a twist of something like the Beach Boys – a trait that emerges in both the call and response and the guitar solos that bend and soar into the scene later on.
It’s an easy to love track, gathering intoxicating momentum as the band let the music speak volumes during that extensive mid-section, and it rightfully ignites a fresh appreciation for the dreamy psychedelic sounds of music’s illustrious past.
