![]() ![]() This is an optimal entry point to Picturesque, giving all that they can give in this song. Some interesting experimentation comes out in “Glass House”s intro, as Kyle battles with himself in the lyrics and a highly-reverbed guitar in the bridge presents a longing feeling.Ī track I’ve heard for two years now, “Pray” encapsulates the struggle between a rough love and the alternative of loneliness. The piece’s quiet, focused tone in its verses gives precedence to Kyle to get his message across. “Holding Me Down” broadcasts a haunting vibe, once again benefiting from dual guitars in the chorus. The guitarwork at 2:18 is divine and gave me chills, being in the right place at the right time. “O.K?” continues the R&B styling and hones in on introspection and dealing with pain. “Prisoner” sees some female vocals in the later bits to create a shared-sentiment vibe within a toxic/failing relationship, lyrics that become easily relatable to those who have gone through something similar. ![]() My personal favorite single, “Crimes,” with a purely-infectious post-chorus jam and a standout performance in the bridge that shines the talent at hand in Picturesque in a bright spotlight. This piece’s mainstream appeal is at the forefront with a lot of interspersed elements that could entertain a lot of listeners. “Swipe” has a polarizing R&B vocal delivery in the verses that smooths into a strong, anthemic chorus. Second off is a rousing “ Holy f***!” shouted in “ATTN.” Cleverly titled, the layered guitars in the chorus and poppy cues give this piece enough complexity to stick in the listener’s head. The chorus sees vocalist Kyle Hollis yearn to be someone’s first choice in aptly-addressed angst. Starting off with single “Necessary,” the haptic feedback in my headphones went NUTS in the first few seconds, immediately establishing that the aforementioned production value is kicked into high gear for this release. For their upcoming release, Do You Feel O.K?, there’s been a whopping five singles released since “Pray” in 2018, so the anticipation is palpable for me as I delve into this album hitting April 24th! Their idea of post-hardcore incorporates soaring vocals and compelling production techniques to enhance the emotion portrayed. Ever since their debut EP in 2014, I’ve kept an eye on the transcending, exploratory band that is Picturesque. ![]()
