Nashville-based duo King Margo have just released the soothing indie folk track, “Crashing,” which explores the end of an intense relationship.
“Crashing” is a reflective and cozy track, built around the nostalgic, gentle, and weaving tones of fingerpicked acoustic guitar. Supported by the understated, slow-shuffling rhythm of a steady kick drum heartbeat and soft shaker, the song radiates an effortless meditative quality. It is almost as if King Margo seemingly plucked this gem from the ether as easily as ripe fruit from a branch.
As the composition unfolds satisfyingly, reverberating piano tones tenderly pad, complemented by mellow shimmers of electric guitar. Unhurried and intimate, yet imbued with a lush sense of melancholy, the music is nothing short of beautiful, especially when the restrained climax hits as we enter the final third.
Filled with captivating harmonies that effortlessly support the lead vocal in all the right places, the delivery exudes a pleasing sense of familiarity. Soft and almost conversational, the lyrics flow naturally, carrying an achingly beautiful and timeless quality. With gorgeous, breezy melodies that unfold like a vivid dream, “Crashing” is a track you won’t want to miss.
