Russ Nelson, this mysterious rider in the night is here to deliver a message through 5 AM, their latest release. Breath in, sit back and let the rhythm sink in to your bones. There is little known about this singer songwriter, but one thing is for certain, he sure as hell knows his way around music. While the song is dark, it has vivid shades and depths to this darkness. It seems like a good enough time to add that the poster is incredible and only adds to the detailing of the song.Â
The track is a journey altogether, weaving us in, out and around his mind. This blues rock brings in all sorts of gloom and doom in its musical tone. And that’s exactly what Russ is going for, he speaks of the dark thoughts that haunt us in the middle or at the end of a sleepless night. The low hum of the guitar layered by the by another siren from another guitar carries us deeper and deeper into our psyche. The genuine tango between the vocals and the backing is interesting. Russ expertly guides our attention away and toward whatever he sees fit in the song. A magician!Â
The track would be wonderful in American Horror Stories (season two). The serious is produced and themed to perfection and this particular season really leaned into popular culture.
