TAYLOR BAREFOOT – “VEINS”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE MUSIC PREMIERE
A transcendent emotional odyssey of a record, Taylor Barefoot’s solo debut, Distressed Signals (out April 8), is at once ethereal and bracingβan effortless fusion of shoegaze, dreampop and post-rock. Layers of gauzy, beautifully flawed, effects-laden guitar pour from the speakers over gently pulsing sampled beats and analog drum machines, unfolding cinematic dreamscapes both magnificent and forlorn.
By the end of this largely wounded set of instrumentals, climactic, slow-burning final track “Veins”βpremiering today at The Spillβhas a cauterizing effect. With its massive sonic peaks and valleys, Everest high and Mariana Trench deep, the song satisfyingly explores tension & release.
ARTIST QUOTE
“After going through this really dark period, once I finally started to come out of it and feel ok again, I realized just how low I’d been by comparison,” Taylor says. “That’s what I tried to capture with ‘Veins.’ Honestly, it was just really nice to feel good after feeling like shit for so long.” ~Taylor Barefoot
