RIOT SON recently unveiled the big new single, "Loneliest at Best" - a track title that would've been perfect for my life in my early 20's - with this being his third single of the year too. The dreamy new offering is a stunner, and while listening to it I can easily see why he has over 300k plays on his music.
... a dreamy, emo-tinged blend of bedroom-pop intimacy and post-punk grit, bursting with nostalgic yet modern allure.
The track blends some li-fi sounds with bedroom-pop intimacy, balanced off with some emo grit - the same found in KennyHoopla's early work. There are some dream-pop textures with the vocals and jangly guitars mixed with some darker post-punk sounds, creating a sound that sits equally in the nostalgic side of the room and modern.
With the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina surrounding him when he writes, it's no wonder his music sounds so beautiful, much like the mountains. So if you want to delve into a new bedroom-pop act with some serious potential, head on right in!
