Taste Test: Daniel Revel lives a ‘Sole Life’
The bedroom pop master considers what waiting and seizing the day mean on new song.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Life rarely waits for you to be ready and capable to attack the very-present moments. While we may feel a sense of overwhelming angst and unease with seizing what is right before us, we have actually already been prepared for it. A New York City gemstone, singer and songwriter Daniel Revel positions his own expectations and the ache to wait with his new song right in the dazzling glow of ’80s neons. “Sole Life” is classically star-struck bedroom pop, slathered with lo-fi gloss that crawls beneath the skin. Revel’s voice then puffs up like a fistful of confetti, which later showers back upon a synth-y elixir of equal electricity. “I put the city on top,” he crows in between sloshy electronica waves. Even as the mix ebbs and flows as seamlessly as life itself, he weighs it all down in gritty fashion.
