Beautiful melody and raw emotion blend seamlessly into the music of Austin’s Somebody Someone. The alt-indie singer-songwriter doesn’t create high-energy bangers so much as groovy moments, but standstill music all the same. On the new single “The Light,” written at a writer’s retreat out at the pastoral Sonic Ranch out in Tornillo, Texas, their lofty, mildy-jazzy vocals thread through the muted drum beat, vintage R&B shuffle that blooms into a full art-pop climax, and sunny melody, beautifully reflecting the song’s poolside origins.
“The Light” is out today, and Somebody Someone performs a release show this Friday at Radio East.
