Progress is often met with resistance, and Bam Rigby’s new single, “Silhouette,” is a truthful and heartfelt reflection of that reality. A recording out of New York City, it mashes the upbeat sound of indie pop with the rougher sound of indie rock to make perseverance a fun listen while reminding us that every little step counts, even when you’re not sure where you’re going.

“Silhouette” has a lot of momentum with a propulsive rhythm and plenty of live instrumentation. There’s a certain warmth to the song because it was recorded on analog, and every guitar, drum, and harmony has character. The production gives the music a timelessness that feels both familiar and new.

Rigby’s voice works well in the arrangement, offering a blend of quiet contemplation and steady resolve. The song builds with rising background harmonies that gradually ease the emotional burden, reflecting the persistence at the heart of its narrative. What you get is a song that admits to struggle but does not succumb to it, that chooses hope and resilience in the midst of defeat.

“Silhouette” is a statement about the quiet determination you need to stay the course when distractions and setbacks threaten to throw you off course. The first release from his upcoming debut album, “Sometimes I Forget to Breathe,” this release introduces us to an artist who believes in real musicianship and meaningful storytelling, and leaves us with plenty of reasons to look forward to what comes next.

Music is a lot about the future, but then again, some of the most interesting moments are the ones where you look back. Sean MacLeod’s newest single, “I’ve Seen You Around,” is proof that you don’t need to get on the next trend to be innovative. The Irish singer-songwriter, composer, author, and producer digs deep into music history to produce something that sounds oddly fresh.

It’s an intriguing glimpse into an ambitious piece of artistic vision and is the first release from his forthcoming album, “We Don’t See that We Don’t See.” “I’ve Seen You Around” is based on the ancient Pythagorean tuning system, an unusual musical system that creates very pure tones. Sean MacLeod situates this technique within the context of indie pop, where every note opens up in a quiet, thoughtful space.

The ancient voice of the lyre fits right in with modern computer technology, creating an aural landscape that is both organic and futuristic. The rock and pop influences are working on familiar turf, the experimental production subtly undermining expectations. MacLeod’s vocal work is well-balanced, offering warmth and deliberation, allowing the song’s atmosphere to speak as much as the melody.

This track is an invitation into a creative space where history, technology, and songwriting just naturally exist. There’s a fearlessness, a peaceable disposition that suggests an artist who’s ready to reimagine what indie pop can do. This is a compelling first chapter for those who want music that rewards their curiosity but remains beautifully accessible.
