One of the most poignant and creative sonic arrangements to release in recent months, Boston artist and producer The Soldier delivers a surprisingly colourful, multi-layered and poetic ode the uncertainties of life.
Built around a complex set-up of melodic synths, fast rhythms and equally fast vocal downpours, Napalm Skies proves distinct for its top line guitar-like melody – this long-form solo that kind of lingers and guides us from start to finish.
Underneath this, a quietly mixed vocal presents a mildly dissonant tune, a series of metaphorical images and ideas that reflect in a personal and intimate way.
All at once we get the hypnotic chaos of a full production, and the raw vulnerability of a songwriter attempting to understand and connect with all that has come to pass. That balance is rare, and a huge part of what gives The Soldier such a unique sound right now.
