If It's Too Loud...

Photo by PJ Guinto We're a little over a week from hearing the new album from Josaleigh Pollett, and we have one last pre-release single to hear while we wait. "Bed of Quiet" might be our favorite single from If I Let It Quiet so far. The song is going to strongly appeal to fans of Death Cab for Cutie, as it turns out it's a collaboration with Chris Walla. You can definitely hear the influence in "Bed of Quiet," and it has that indie rock meets electronic music sound everyone was going nuts for fifteen to twenty years ago. This song is going to immediately grab you, and we're fairly certain you're going to love it as much as we do.  Josaleigh Pollett says of their latest single: “Bed of Quiet is an over-thinker’s anthem. A song for the sleepless, and the hours spent playing and replaying scenarios on a loop in your brain where there is no right decision, digging for a yes or a no in a mountain of perhaps.

"Like a River" is an indie/folktronica masterpiece. The Salt Lake City artist immediately grabs you once the song starts without using volume. The song has so many elements inside of it that it requires multiple listens to fully grasp, although you're going to love it from listen number one. It's relatively calm but quietly intense, with an undeniable beat that adds to the hypnotizing effect. Plus, the calypso element is infectious and sucks you even deeper into the song. Josaleigh Pollett says of their latest single: “Like a River is about an attempt at quieting the noise of my own thoughts and of a chaotic world around me in order to try to be more resilient. A too-late-coffee-fueled yellow-light-lit silent moment - having arrived at myself just in time to feel my pulse speed up and the news of the day sweep me away ...

It's a dreamy singer-songwriter track that sucked me in almost instantly. The song feels warm and cozy, which is rare for a track involving synthesizers. A lot of the warmth comes from Pollett's vocals, and the music feels like it's swirling around you throughout the song. There is also a huge crossover possibility for "The Witness," and I could easily see this song breaking through if it were to end up in some popular TV show. A song like "The Witness" could put Pollett on the list of artists like Madi Diaz who should be breaking through at any moment. Josaleigh Pollett says of her latest single: “The Witness is a song about knowing that to be seen and held and understood, you must first see and hold and understand. It’s about love, beyond l...
