SINGLE REVIEW: Simplify - Twisting Embers

Journeying through the void of non-existence, 'Twisting Embers' delves into the mysteries of what might lie beyond. Some find solace in this transition, while others are consumed by fear and resistance. This captivating track is part of Simplify's self-titled debut album.

James Davidson, the driving force behind Simplify, has poured years of dedication into crafting this collection of songs. Mostly recorded in a private studio in Oregon, WI, the album reflects Davidson’s life experiences, creating a deeply personal and resonant soundscape.

'Twisting Embers' draws on a wide array of musical influences, blending Indie Rock, Progressive Rock, and other genres into a unique, melody-driven piece. Simplify’s music resists easy categorization, oscillating between melancholy and aggression, and showcasing Davidson’s distinctive approach to harmony.

The band’s name, "Simplify," serves as an ironic reminder of Davidson's tendency to overcomplicate, both a personal mantra and a universal piece of advice.

In essence, 'Twisting Embers' offers a rich, genre-blending musical journey. Davidson’s work is a compelling introduction to a band that defies easy classification, promising an engaging and heartfelt listening experience for those who appreciate innovative music.
