“Built off of a drum loop made and given by Sam Evian, ‘Clustercuss’ is a shoegazy, 90s tinged song about feeling burnt out and the malaise from today’s society, and finding solace being the quiet of the natural world as a way to fight against it.”
N. Sherman, a talented independent musician hailing from Kelowna, British Columbia, has recently released his latest single. The song is a captivating blend of slow, melancholic indie rock with a notable slowcore influence, and a touch of shoegaze towards the end. The haunting sense of sadness embedded in the melody instantly drew me in, and I’ve always had a soft spot for the unique and distinctive music produced by Canadian artists. The lyrics of the song also resonated deeply with me, adding another layer of depth to the overall experience.
I get it
You call the bluff, standing at
The doorbell rang
I forget what I was saying
Burnout
Build a wall, a clustercuss of shit
We know
It’s always there for us
Light it again and
Look
Out on the old terrain
Silence
Hold it close
Never let it go
We know
It’s always there for us
Just press play, get lost in the melody, and let it fill you with emotions.
