The Texan musician gives us a vulnerable piece through which he finds salvation.
Music is medicine and that becomes clear when we listen to songs like 'Laughable', in which Hunter Cahill takes us to the very depths of the hole in which he was, as many of us will recognize, during the worst moments of an emotional crisis.
''I wrote 'Laughable' while going through a period of deteriorating mental health. I was dealing with sadness, anger, and regret. I felt that I had made all the wrong decisions and that everyone was laughing at me. I wanted to die'.'
Fortunately, and partly because he used the writing of this track as catharsis, the musician is in a better place. The vulnerability shown in this single is admirable, in which the doubts and insecurities that try to take over everything are expressed openly, helping the listener to recognize himself in them.
Strong melodies that remind us of some great moments of bands like Arcade Fire circa The Suburbs and folk artists like David Bazan or Frank Turner round out this proposal that, although its main attraction is in the voice and narrative, the musical aspect serves as a comforting lair for these thoughts and emotions.
