Finding light in the darkness
In the minds of many, we find ourselves in some seriously dark times. Despite all the good in the world, it often feels like everywhere you turn, you see despair, chaos, destruction, the list goes on. These sort of sentiments were felt deeply by many in 2016, when all-around musical entity Sam Evian (musician, songwriter, producer) released his debut album Premium, featuring "Dark Love," which paints a picture of finding love in the midst of the twisted darkness. At first listen, Sam Evian's sound in "Dark Love" feels very similar to a Tame Impala track, incorporating traditional rock instruments, with the addition of glistening, tremulous 80s-style synths, and absolutely killer falsetto vocals with simple lyrics that aren't necessarily the focus of the song. Evian strays slightly from Tame Impala's sound by inserting some funk into the equation with slick guitar licks and groovy bass lines popping up here and there.
