Daniel Seth - “Hindsight”
From Charlotte, NC, singer-songwriter Daniel Seth has just sent over his debut folksy release: “Hindsight.”
“Hindsight” lands within our wheelhouse both stylistically and in terms of its subject matter, as we tend to be drawn towards the authentic and heartfelt sound of indie folk that traverses the sheer agony of grief. And with Daniel Seth’s new tune, listeners get an emotional serving of each.
The arrangement has been imbued with a wide gamut of elements, spanning from a softly droning piano to an elaborately finger-plucked acoustic guitar. Percussion provides a dynamic ebb and flow, as well as forward momentum, resulting in a sonic landscape that lives and breathes within the realm of analog production.
Daniel Seth’s voice possesses that worn-in and honest character that can be found in the work of Gregory Alan Isakov and Lord Huron, which immediately wins us over as fans. And as he shifts between his upper and lower registers, we have found it incredibly easy to lose ourselves within his reverberating vocal performance.
In just over three minutes, “Hindsight” manages to demonstrate a profoundly dynamic sense of songwriting, full of twists and turns and avoiding any digital production tactics that might divert the listener from its emotional lyrics. It is a bold debut from Daniel Seth, bound to leave a lasting impression on all who hear, and we truly cannot wait to see what more he has in store.
