There is a fragile moment between wakefulness and sleep, where the slightest inconsistency is both a welcome reprise and a jarring reminder that the peace of slumber is about to abandon you. Chicago songsmith and multi-instrumentalist Brent Pulse captures both the promise and the vulnerability of these moments in his music.
The former hip hop MC and graffiti artist seamlessly blends gritty cityscapes and cinematic dreamscapes, with ghostly pianos and glockenspiel creeping over the guitars and melotrons like the uneasy lull of a late night 'L' train. Unconventional chord progressions melt into singable choruses, taking the singer-songwriter ideal out of the coffeehouse and into the narrow but deep chasm between peace of mind and utter despair. Brent Pulse's music is the soundtrack to the cold comfort found in the familiar cycle of loving, losing, and living to love again.
