Andy Smythe is a British singer-songwriter and alt folk artist. His mild atmospheres of song are narrative driven and acoustically led that listeners with a distinct taste for The Byrds, The Beatles, and Nick Drake are sure to enjoy. ‘Out of My Mind’ is Andy Smythe’s latest single. It is a folk rock masterpiece balanced on the cusp of melancholy and nostalgia. Its lamentous swell is elevated by expressive mounts of orchestral melody and reinforced message. Listen Now!
There’s a lot of elements that give the track a dynamic sound. Opening with slights of acoustics, it dilates with riffs and beats. The rustic vocals spin around the edges of these textures to ring with a folk resonance. Once the first chorus passes, the composition is transformed by dream pop, neo-soul, and contemporary jazz instrumentals. It is plush and transcendental without ridding itself of traditional folk attributes. This new ambience wondrously wraps itself around Andy’s vocal passion and emotional quotients. A mix of retro synths, vintage acoustics, and authentic vocals gives rise to a novel and sophisticated sonic journey through the oldest human experience – heartbreak.
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
