Budding singer/songwriter Niko Rose’s strength seems to lie in the details, especially in his track “On the Wall.” What starts off as another rolling lo-fi-driven number quickly becomes a song to sit with for hours, just to fully take it all in. Aside from the syrupy vocals and pulsing drum kit, this song’s piece de resistance lies in its playful guitar melismas and layered cloudy interjections. Together, it brings on an instant calm that you’ll be reluctant to let go of. This track finds its place among the rest of Niko Rose’s debut full length album, The Puppy Project, promising further hazy croons to get you through the day. Get the full effect with his glitchy VHS-inspired video for “On the Wall” below.
