TRACK PREMIERE

"'Soft Exchange' simmers at the edge of lush art pop and melodic indie rock, carried by meditative keys and meandering guitar lines.

โ€œKarl Blauโ€™s soft vocals and the bandโ€™s instrumentation gently craft a pastoral scene and the results fit effortlessly into the trackโ€™s hazy summer backdrop."

Thanks to Under the Radar for the kind words about my favorite song from the debut EP by Opal Eskar! See the premiere at the link.
