Taste Test: Peter Drucker gazes up at the ‘Northern Lights’
The folksy newcomer lets love soak into his heart with a blisteringly bizarre new ballad.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Stolen moments of intimacy unfurls the starkest of human vulnerabilities. If we’re lucky, such lovesick rendezvouses will unlock something primal inside each of us, enough where we open up our hearts and minds to something truly wondrous. Swimming between genres, from indie-pop to folk music, Montreal’s up and comer named Peter Drucker finds himself basking in the light cast from a blissful entanglement with his song “Northern Lights.” He allows the heavenly orbs to wash his skin, but he abruptly turns his rapt attention to his lover, who is finally able and willing to shine nearly as bright. “At dawn, she took my hand / And placed it on her chest / Just let it in, let in the light behind your eyes,” he swings low, getting the listener all caught up in their own emotional expedition. Drucker’s musical quirks guide the sweetly tangy song from a string-bound ballad to something altogether unnatural and bizarrely magnetizing; but underneath, his voice is one of great power and charm to keep it all glued together tightly.
“Northern Lights” is out everywhere now.
