Music

Its half of a warped reggae chop, surgically attached to a lounge band shuffle, with soul-pop vocals sprinkled on top.

The energy is both soothing and a bit peppery, while the voice sounds to be on the fashionable side of timid: controlled, well-purposed, and perfectly blended into the song.

On their new release Out In The Streets there is a raw and pristine sound to the sparse production, and a Lou Reed style density in the lyrics.

Originality of the songwriting and production style sets Fontaine apart, but also the willingness to mesh genres in interesting ways.

Parker Ainsworth takes a Petty-style drum groove and infuses some deep vocals, an in-crowd vibe, and a monastic harmony.

This song is a simple, infectious melody, delivered with impeccably groomed vocals, and a smooth late-night catharsis.

The entire emotional journey rests on that vocal performance, the immediacy of the lyricism, and the blues-style breaks.

The video doubles as both a traveling visual narrative and a metaphor for the course of a lifetime: challenge after challenge, with rotating color schemes.
