FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The musician known only as Sound of
Life has released his debut EP record, “Rain.” The EP is
comprised of five original tracks for an approximate total listening
time of 16 minutes. It has been released independently of assistance
from major music record labels. A gentle, yet emotionally striking
extended-play record, “Rain” is one of the most intriguing and
startling examples of modern folk music to emerge in recent years,
one which is certain to mark Sound of Life as the genre's youngest
inspiration.
Sound of Life, from Sweden, cites only
Bob Dylan and Bon Iver as artistic influences, yet his sound is
absolutely his own. At only 19 years old, his sound is genuine and
heartfelt, his songs remarkable in their simple complexities and
seemingly casual deliveries. His lyrics are poetic without seeming
overworked, almost as if the artist had merely put his thoughts
directly into ink and set them to music.
His tones persist in mellow, optimistic
chord progressions which contrast against lightly sorrowful and
occasionally cynical themes. The chorus from the EP's closing track,
“When You Die,” runs:
“What happens when you die? I guess
that this is all a show. We're all waiting on death row.”
In the same characteristic fashion,
Sound of Life bases his explanation of his “Rain” EP on hues of
blue, but not without a streak of daylight amid the clouds.
“Sometimes you feel stuck in rain
like you’re walking in quicksand,” he writes of his record. “But
if you want to get it done, you can fly right to the sun.”
Speaking candidly of himself, Sound of
Life proves incredibly introspective and more than somewhat
introverted, as well, both of which his EP communicates.
“I write acoustic indie folk songs,”
he writes. “They are about feeling down mostly. My biggest
interests are music and politics. I’m walking around in quicksand
right now, not moving myself forward. I really want to do something
important in life. I don’t really play music anywhere, just at
home. Right now I just want to get a girlfriend, play some shows and
talk politics really. I guess getting your songs out there is a good
first step.”
His final note is both humble and
touching.
“I really don’t know what to write,
I’m not sensational.”
Without a doubt, Sound of Life is soon
to learn what it means to make a musical sensation.
The “Rain” EP by Sound of Life is
available online worldwide. Get in early.
