Taste Test: Zach Kleisinger spins a delicate yarn on new song, ‘Lower Your Book’
The dark-folk storyteller wonders about life’s storm of uncertainty on a new ballad.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Life is a steady stream of coincidences, unexpected mishaps and uncertainty. We try our best to prepare ourselves for all of it, but we can never properly know what’s to come next. Dark folk wordsmith Zach Kleisinger scurries between the crackle of organ and the gentle weeping of guitar, as he, too, finds himself swept up in life’s serendipity. With “Lower Your Book,” a plaintive moment and a wallop of an emotional rendering, the Vancouver musician buries his head in the sands of time, calling back to 1995 and the icy hand of winter. “And take the love that was wrapped around my father / And make my brother call out for his mother,” the syllables cut sharp, long and deep, a sly vocal lacing it all up into an astonishing performance.
“Lower Your Book” comes on the heels of “You Should Hold Me” from earlier this summer.
