I’ll start with the fact that the new single “Mind Painted By Picasso” by Ethan Cronin and Fungai Kasere is a song with a very unusual, sharp, and highly metaphorical style. Not every listener will appreciate its textured vocal harmonies and hypnotic motif, but it is precisely these peculiarities that create a sense of a new musical world within the song.

Under the unmatched craftsmanship of Ethan Cronin and Fungai Kasere, the single “Mind Painted By Picasso” becomes a true symbiosis of various genres: from light indie rock to almost meditative motifs. Something great resonates in this song: the shifts from whispers to screams seem to awaken the inner soul, evoking goosebumps and confident admiration. Similar feelings are evoked by Radiohead and Brian Eno. If people love them, they love them unconditionally, if not, it’s an even greater display of love. I belong to the first group, but fully understand the second. And I think the metaphorical style of the brilliant Cronin and Kasere suits absolutely everyone who is ready to discover a new world.

The light vinyl crackle accompanying “Mind Painted By Picasso” creates such a familiar, sometimes vintage feeling that underscores the uniqueness of the sound. Indeed, you haven’t heard anything like it before. It’s a completely new dimension in the indie sound, with a subtle hint of experimentation. I would recommend it to everyone. For open-minded individuals who appreciate the value of complex sound and are willing to think beyond conventions, it’s just the thing.
