Jacksonville, Florida-based Jeremy Marshall Blanton has just released the strikingly reflective and tranquil indie folk track “Lonely June Nights.”
“Lonely June Nights” is built around the gentle, tranquil, and soothing rhythmic foundation of fingerpicked acoustic guitar. The warm, intimate, and nostalgic mood is simply irresistible, drawing you into the composition and allowing a pleasing focus on the poetic lyrics.
As the song progresses, a steady drum groove and a thick, resonant bass are introduced, helping to create a full, laid-back ambiance, while a shaker lends texture and airiness. When the song enters its final third, the reflective glissandos of pedal steel guitar further enrich the composition with emotive and expressive shimmers, while electric guitar enhances the acoustic with melting twinkles of bright notes.
The vocal of Jeremy Marshall Blanton complements the music with an unhurried and soft delivery. Rich with smooth emotion and warmth, the thoughtful performance is accompanied by some beautifully tender harmonising backing layers. Lyrically, “Lonely June Nights” is imbued with finely crafted, vivid language that engages the senses through evocative imagery, evoking feelings of nostalgia, hope, and comfort.
Jeremy Marshall Blanton’s “Lonely June Nights” is a timeless piece of music that is wonderfully captivating from the first note to the last. The song would make the perfect addition to any indie folk lover’s playlist.
