Doc Fischbach “Walk Away”
Doc Fischbach is a versatile songwriter. His emotive, electrifying vocal stand outs easily among the countless songs released everyday. In his usual downbeat catalogue, he channels the wrenching story of the broken-hearted with vulnerability and sensitivity. With “Walk Away,” the artist takes on a different artistic direction, bringing an upbeat anthem into fruition.
“Walk Away” seems to be more in tune with the sass and unique electrifying energy of his voice. On there, his twists and turns radiate along the intoxicating sonics. The beats carry an roof-lifting, elevating vibe that effortlessly changes the mood in the room. On the latest track, Fischbach weaves the swirling retro aesthetic of disco and funk into the eclectic smash of pop and rock. Bombastic and energy splashing. The euphoric track doesn’t fail to deliver a meaningful message of self worth.
Never settling for something less. Walking away is about treating yourself right and not wasting time on games and nonsense. In the track, Fischbach explores a diverse sonic palette with dazzling colors and vibrant soundscapes in its everlasting empowering anthemic melodies. From the pulsing sonics to Fischbach’s defining vocals, every line seems to deliver a hit into your ears.
The track is intoxicating. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell if the mood is richer or the melodies are more satisfying. They are both quite brilliant and hard to forget. “Walk Away” leaves an impressionistic aftertaste in your ears. The positive outlook and the radiating sonic palette, along with the phantom of anthemic melodies make it ever-lasting and desiring.
SINGLE REVIEW: SISYPHES “AU CARREFOUR”
Song of the Day
Inspired by an introspective moment walking alongside the still landscape of oceans and mountains in a freezing winter sunset, “Au Carrefour” has captured the luminous moment of stillness. Cold and calming, the aura of sunset permeates the sonics.
The pulsing drumbeat sits at the crossroad of world percussion and electronic, bringing an elegant, quirky charisma into the mix. A touch of jazz has reminiscent energy in its vocabulary. The unpredictable future remains unknown. There’s a sense of uncertainty and melancholy in its undertone.
The flowing guitar line constantly on the move without the need for destination reflects on the motion within stillness, linking dots together. The standpoint of the present sits at the crossover of the past and the future. Memories, influences, and experiences brewing in the air, becoming the sound of “Au Carrefour.”
Sisyphes is the emerging solo project by former La Houle guitarist and songwriter Geoffrey Papin that aims to create a unique, avantpop texture bringing in various influences. Building from scratch, perfecting each and every detail in its production, the artist is the sole designer of “Au Carrefour.”
