Linuss Unlocks the Soul with the Release of Vibrant New Single “Passcode”
Linuss, the solo project of Michael Glines, formerly the frontman of alternative/indie band Vues, has released a brand new single, “Passcode,” on April 20th. The track seamlessly melds pop and soulful R&B with surfy guitars, creating a unique sound that transports listeners to a dreamy, introspective world.
“Passcode” is inspired by the guitar work of artists like Peach Pit and Mac Demarco and the deep grooves of RnB music. Glines admits to having been influenced by Daniel Caesar and Sabrina Claudio during the songwriting process. The single features a captivating mix of vibrant guitars and dynamic vocals, moving from lush yearning to a catchy, hook-driven chorus.
Glines explains that the lyrics emerged subconsciously, as they often do for him, revealing a first-hand personal story of his life at the time. The song captures the raw emotions of giving everything to please someone, only to find that it’s never enough. The experience led Glines to reflect on codependency and self-worth, which he hopes will resonate with listeners who may be going through similar situations.
Although not initially intended as a mirror for those experiencing codependency or low self-worth, “Passcode” has the potential to inspire self-reflection and change in its listeners. Glines adds that his primary intention was to blend surf rock and RnB, crafting a sound that stands out in today’s music scene.
The track’s dreamy, psychedelic folk vibe is further enhanced by the mixing expertise of Daniel Knowles, known for his work with Sharon Van Etten. Knowles’ influence adds a unique layer to the already compelling single, elevating it to a captivating listening experience.
With the release of “Passcode,” Linuss invites fans to join him on a musical journey that explores the intricacies of human emotions and relationships. The single showcases Glines’ incredible talent as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist, while also highlighting his ability to tell relatable, deeply personal stories through his music.
