Jakob Wedl is a singer-songwriter and alt folk artist who creates such beautifully modern variations of the genre. Stringing narratives, dreams, and stories together, he crafts a delightfully lithe soundscape that reveals a life in all its mundanity and profundity. His latest release is ‘pretty backyard’, a track in which he explores the outlines of a future that he wants with his love. The artist creates this dream to redeem the protagonist from the heartache he caused as he asks for one last chance.
The soundscape is a seamless blend of acoustics, smooth synths and a soft vocal boomerang. Its sentiments anchor the listener to the richness of a future dream frame. Where there is a house with three kids and a pretty backyard. His style is youthful, dreamy, romantic, and sincere. Despite the deep feelings involved, he preserves a levity that is quite enjoyable without taking away from the thematic reality. Between each verse and chorus, he reinforces this image, bridging the gap between the broken present and the wholesome future. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
