Every once and a while, we get a new Colin Bracewell song. Each single follows a path of exponential growth, briefly tantalizing listeners before leaving again. "20+ Years," Bracewell's third song in just over a year, is his best yet.
Immediately, "20+ Years" sets itself apart with how full it feels. Prior singles, solid as they were, sounded solitary. There were minimal embellishments, mostly leaving things bare and letting the music speak for itself. Now, there's an actual band bringing the songs to life.
Bracewell has recorded with other musicians in the past (and plays live with a quartet), but "20+ Years" is a full-band song through and through. Any traces of the folk found on "Little Secret" have been mostly erased and replaced with a harmonic rock influence. Bracewell pairs wistful reminiscence with ringing guitar chords, allowed to vibrate through the song's walls.
"20+ Years" is another exciting sample of Bracewell's writing and composition — it's only gotten better as time has gone by. It's sure to build up even more attention for his forthcoming EP, hopefully out in the spring. Listen to "20+ Years" below.
