Austin-based alt-rock act GHSTFLSH, the brainchild of virtuoso Brad Byram, has long been impressing fans with their sentimental work that strives to capture the mystery of the human condition itself. With nearly a decade of experience touring their music across the globe and pouring their soul into their work, Byram has taken a big leap forward in cementing their legacy with his newest album “you found me, like music from another room.” A revealing and deeply personal record, the album is headlined by the standout single “Put Me Back Together” as an exceptional example of his musical proclivities. Bold, comforting, and unafraid, the track serves as a true window into the artist’s mind.
The piece begins with a rapturous symphony of energy that set the mood for the spirited single. Rhythmic and hypnotizing, it is easy to become immediately invested in the world this music builds around us. The artist’s vocals appear soon after and begin the narrative with the opening line “Moments become memories, the glitter and fade. People are lessons and I’m still the same.” From the first line, we feel the passion coming through our speakers every step of the way.
The tonal identity of the single threads the needle incredibly between a nostalgic homage to the golden age of alt rock in the 90s and modern vulnerability. Heavy, but not overwhelming, we feel motivated to let this music move us, all the while not overwhelmed by the weight of the musicality. We feel a real sense of introspection and growth in every line and inspiration through the music to take their message to heart.
