Indie-duo Gin Jupiter say goodbye to old relationships with their new indie folk track, “Listen To My Tears.”
“Listen To My Tears” is a charming, delicate track that has a vintage, heartfelt sincerity. The song is built around the soothing and sparkling, melodic tones of acoustic guitars, which provide a warm, mellow, and intimate rhythmic foundation. These layers are beautifully arranged, inviting you to get lost in the music while imbuing a timeless quality to the composition.
The retro-tinged drums elegantly punctuate the groove, but maintain a light and airy feel, even when deeper textural tom fills are introduced. Down in the track’s underbelly, the bass infuses warmth and depth with its steady, rich pulse. As the song reaches its outro, a burst of slide guitar infuses and almost Beatles-esque finesse within “Listen To My Tears.”
The vocals of Gin Jupiter are strikingly reflective, sincere, and expressive as they gently and tenderly deliver the lyrics. The track is supported throughout by light, breathy backing vocal harmonies. In the middle section, these backing layers adorn a distinctly early 1960s vibe, reminiscent of tracks like “Johnny Remember Me” by John Leyton, holding a similar cinematic, sorrowful tone.
“Listen To My Tears” is a delightfully chilled track that aches with a reflective romantic and sentimental maturity. This song is not to be missed.
