Taste Test: Autumn Sky Hall sits herself down for a talk in ‘My Anxious Brain & My Broken Heart’
The “queer as folk” Californian artist stuns in their latest single
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Anxiety and hope can be mortal enemies, constantly in conflict with one another. “My Anxious Brain & My Broken Heart” is Autumn Sky Hall’s attempt to broker peace between these forces. In this quietly powerful folk song, they methodically work through their emotions, personified by her brain and her heart. “Said my anxious brain/to my broken heart/can’t move forward when you’re on your guard” she sings. Autumn’s vocals are the centrepiece of their work, carefully modulated but infinitely expressive. They are supported by subdued background singers, soft guitars and percussion that is as delicate as a feather. Autumn’s music displays a stunning clarity of thought and musical talent in this introspective single.
