Colorado Indie Rocker, Ian Huschle is back with his new single ‘Chores’. Self-produced recording every instrument himself, Ian describes his music as “smudgy and beatific”. With 5 albums already under his belt Ian has found his sound and has perfected his craft.
‘Chores’ opens with soft chords and hushed vocals but travels in an unexpected direction as the gentle soundscape develops into stripped-back intensity. The track echoes the sounds of 90s alternative and slowcore as darker layers are introduced, including a foreboding guitar line that elevates this sweet and sour track. Whether you’re a fan of the lo-fi ambience of Daniel Johnston or the fuzzing guitars of Slowdive, Ian Huschle has a place in your music library.
Speak on the meaning behind the track, Ian Huschle says:
“Chores is about finding yourself in a point in life you might not be happy with. Doing something you might not wanna do, being someone you might not wanna be, longing for an imagined better life. Maybe we all at times find ourselves in these situations – some of which are in our control, can be changed or made better, while others we have to live with and accept. Chores is also about enjoying, and being grateful for, the good things we do have in hard times – the relationships, laughter, and little things that get us through the chores.”
