Debutant Electro-pop rock artist The Tacet Mode lights up our synapses with the stirring, upbeat track, ‘Turn the Car Around’!
The Tacet Mode is a pseudonym for musician and songwriter Brian Connolly. With the exciting release of his debut LP Not How You Color, Connolly emerges from years of training to show us what he’s created. Blending an array of genres—pop, jazz, classical and retro/synth-laden textures—into a pleasing, dreamy composition, ‘Turn the Car Around’, The Tacet Mode announces itself with radiant flair and personality.
We open onto upbeat, colorful electronic major chord progression, exploding to life. There’s something special in the way Brian sings. Soft, confident and vulnerable. The lyrics express a anguished sense of living, of shifting perspectives and striding forward through the uncertainty, when the restless heart is at its loudest. Its about finding the strength of character and courage to focus on the things you can control and avoid worrying. he metaphor of a car symbolizes the journey we take throguh this life, at times unsure of where to go and how.
The track’s consistent positive melodic structure, built upon driving key rhythms, makes for a thoroughly enjoyable listen. It’s the kind of track you’d use to lock into periods of focus or relaxation. We listened to ‘Turn the Car Around’ on repeat and felt it settle into our minds like a thrilling anthem for change. It’s honest, sharp and crisp in sound design and production and just the right amount of runtime.
