Altai – “Brawl”

---

Altai aims for hard-hitting (and succeeds) on latest indie-pop track, “Brawl.” Beneath the Alvvays-esque gauzy synths and swimmy guitars, Altai takes aim at the destructive patterns of what it means to be “macho” in today’s society. Driven by a constant drumbeat and Altai mastermind Tessa Collins’ dreamy vocals, this paints an interesting juxtaposition. Here’s a little more from her:

 

“I wanted to explore the complexities of masculinity and how society’s expectations of men can lead them down destructive paths… This is to illustrate the patriarchal pressures to suppress vulnerability leading to a vicious cycle of bad behaviour and poor life choices.”

 

“Brawl” is on Soundcloud (below) and Spotify.
