See the new video for Opal Eskar's "Soft Exchange," which "simmers at the edge of lush art pop and melodic indie rock," at Under The Radar

TRACK PREMIERE

"'Soft Exchange' simmers at the edge of lush art pop and melodic indie rock, carried by meditative keys and meandering guitar lines.

“Karl Blau’s soft vocals and the band’s instrumentation gently craft a pastoral scene and the results fit effortlessly into the track’s hazy summer backdrop."

Thanks to Under the Radar for the kind words about my favorite song from the debut EP by Opal Eskar! See the premiere at the link.
