In a climate of great division, a song like Callum Pitt‘s “Fault Lines” seeks to plant seeds of harmony in sour soil. The indie-folk musician plays with a quiet intensity, even as he extends hope and understanding as a means to a greater end. “Seems like all you do is fight and see the world in black and white / Spinning truths like you can move our minds as wind upon a kite,” he points to the current sociocultural movement. The air bubbles with thick venom, spewing from collective politicians’ slack jaws, and Pitt’s observations attempt to glue a broken society back together. “When we demonize, we form a mind that will not be persuaded,” he remarks over emotion-baked guitars. He bares his inner thoughts, effectively running his own emotions cold and numb. “Setting fires between two sides and I feel jaded,” he later confides.
