From our follower Alex Gold comes the 2019 track “Tenderness” by Jay Som. Known as a DIY/”bedroom pop” singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, the LA-based Som released her first tracks via the Bandcamp platform. The New York Times calls Som “a nimble, honest songwriter (who) never sacrifices grooves or hooks for some forced idea of lo-fi intimacy.”
The fast 12/8 groove, which initially takes its sweet time falling into place during the intro, drops out at 1:14. Then the groove returns with much more force a few seconds later before a big modulation, jumping up a perfect fourth, hits at 3:15.
