Arliston’s latest single, What Did I Think Would Happen, is the poignant opening track from their upcoming album, Disappointment Machine. With a nostalgic vibe, it kicks off the album’s exploration of unrequited love, evoking the sound of a VHS tape starting up. The song wraps its emotional weight in warm analog textures and a delicate piano melody, expressing vulnerability with a whisper rather than a shout. Lead songwriter Jack Ratcliffe’s raw, intimate lyrics paint a vivid picture of heartache, blending his piercing falsetto with a haunting lower register.
Prepare for a captivating journey into the complexities of love and loss.
