From the Kevin J.B. O’Connor‘s album Zephyr, its maginificent opener Magnet sits somewhere between cool American indie folk rock and the whimsical, bittersweet charm of The Television Personalities, wrapped in an ’80s dreamy haze. Understated guitar lines and warm, unhurried vocals give the song an inviting pull, while airy production leaves room for every nuance to breathe. There’s a gentle push and pull in the melody, echoing its title and drawing the listener closer.
Subtle yet resonant, Magnet lingers in the mind like a half-remembered summer evening, tender and unhurried.
