Portland’s othermusic bursts onto the scene with Pretty Please, a colossal debut blending the introspection of slowcore with the ethereal power of shoegaze. Anchored by Tony Reyes’s sweeping guitar lines and fuzz-drenched synths, the track cascades into layers of haunting vocal harmonies from Ezekiel J. Rudick and Kathrin Skiff. Thunderous percussion and reverb-soaked textures evoke comparisons to Low and Slowdive, while the lyrics bare raw vulnerability: “Can you please find a way to be kinder to me?”
A plea for solace transforms into an epic, heart-wrenching anthem wrapped in cinematic beauty.
