Alex Gerdt - “Just Like Anybody”
If you happen to fancy a majestic hint of 1960s nostalgia, you should do yourself a favor and press play on “Just Like Anybody,” the new single from Sweden-based Alex Gerdt.
This song promptly invites your ears into a thick, slow jam of resounding drums and deep, creamy bass that underscore a vibrant canopy of layered guitars. “Just Like Anybody” earns the listener’s trust immediately, as it is, without a doubt, carefully crafted by genuine musicians, with nary a trace of digital tomfoolery.
Gerdt’s voice soon arrives, bearing with it all the reasons that we initially fell in love with the sound of Bon Iver. The layer upon layer of vocal tracking is the chocolate frosting that turns “Just Like Anybody” from a delicious dish into something truly habit-forming. Slide guitar rises and falls in the distance while soft keys permeate the arrangement– this song has everything.
Although it is quite simple in structure, “Just Like Anybody” is an exemplar of introspective musical craftsmanship, designed to allow listeners to embark on the shared journey of self-discovery. We encourage you to press that play button so that you can find one of your new favorite songs and, perhaps, the parts of yourself you thought were missing.
