Stray Tablet introduces a radically inventive, immersive new composition, from which it’s a pleasure to highlight the track that exemplifies the uniqueness and variety of his approach – “Trash Mountain Man” hits hard with relentless intensity and character.
“Trash Mountain Man” introduces his music with style and integrity, showcasing the strength of structure and songwriting from the start — fascinating, bass-thick verses and strange vocals carry us softly into the story with a strong sense of approaching weight.
The song, which comes complete with strangely captivating vocals for the track, powerfully conveys the artist’s unique vocal drive and an electronic, funky, yet almost rock flavored instrumental approach.
Initially, the vocal comes in to shake things up – a tale, a certain nostalgic rock rasp that seems born to act in this manner. That quality then proves itself to be relatively boundless as the song progresses, with the hook erupting into action with the unexpected vibrancy of a timeless rock classic.
Combine all of this, the fascinating set-up and attractive presentation, with a massive hit of irresistible composition, alternative yet memorable in its long-form writing style, the rise and resolution of the hook, and “Trash Mountain Man” is definitely the year’s top song. Hopefully, there will be much more music in the future.
