SINGLE REVIEW: Tokyosongbird - After the Storm

Written By Amy

'After the Storm' unfolds as a beautifully serene and engulfing listen. The vocals bear an uncanny resemblance to Lou Reed, emitting an emotional, poetic sound with a somewhat deadpan stance. The overall sound is vast and sweeping, driven by a continuous thumping drum, synth bass, organ, and timeless guitar.

Written in just 12 minutes, Tokyosongbird acknowledges the challenge of deciphering the meaning when a song invents itself rapidly. From my own perception, it could be interpreted as another lockdown tune or a reflection on any of life's storms – that emotional moment when you realise the tides have changed, allowing you to finally open your lungs and breathe again.

'After the Storm' emerges as an encapsulating slice of mesmerising indie, boasting a beautiful, soulful edge and a highly transfixing emotional sound.
