Dylan Bressler-Talk My Ear Off
Dylan Bressler keeps us as witness, making music for himself. This is an incredible vibe to feel from an artist. In a time when people are chasing considerable clout and genres, Dylan becomes his truest self. His latest album is packed with emotion and wonder, something he pursues with a thrill. This is called Talk My Ear Off. It is a slice of time from another place. Dylan Bressler starts the album off with Practical Effects. The soothing voice and simple progression are the perfect backdrop for your next mundane task. He puts colour into all of this, choosing melodies that touch your heart. The explosion comes from the ultimate guitar showcase, bringing sufficient drama and character into the song. Like a post-grunge album, he continues the rendezvous. The bassline continues with Dylan’s vocals, and there isn’t much to delve into the lyrics. He is composing out of passion, out of the excitement that comes from it. Time is a Daffodil creates another pocket within the album, an acoustic edge is seen all around. Dylan Bressler makes a solid case for a connoisseur of genres. He works with live instruments as though to delve into an incredible conversation. The riffs and progressions in this one are melodic, yet meditative. If this is your introduction to his music, by the time you reach Murder Hornets, you should be sold. This is a punk number, from the hardcore delivery to the dynamite opening. Dylan is a polymath of music, and live instruments are his paper and ink. Again, he dials back to transcendental tones in Light Source. This is your indie rock haven, with familiar progression characteristics. It doesn’t delve into what the intentions of the song is every time, but handles the layers with mastery. We’re in alt-rock territory when we reach Mars in Retrograde. Each song showcases something unique about this talented artist, who I have understood has to be a one-man band by now. There is something about how he composes and delivers his music which is seamless. It is like a known secret, by then, that one energy is able to stitch all of this together so well. It is writing and performing all of these songs with revolutionary style and zeal that makes this album so enticing. Even if you know the process, it is the execution that you will fall in love with. Dylan Bressler is comfortably sitting on a cardboard throne of guitar boxes and sugar frosted cereal. Talk My Ear Off is the perfect kind of album for Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010), where there needs to be a unified style with diverse applications.
