LA Priest - What Moves (Official Video)

[what-else-is-there]

..:: #67. LA Priest - What Moves ::..

LA Priest was able to lay down one of the freshest tunes of 2020 with little more than a drum machine, a guitar, and his warbling voice. "What Moves" succeeds not in spite of its minimalist nature, but partially due to it. With few elements making up the song, it helps us focus on the unique guitar vibrations and the feelings behind Samuel Eastgate's singing. He takes the staccato backdrop that he's assembled and uses it to ask us a series of questions while oscillating his voice up and down. What moves us: To act the way we are? To fall into arms? To wish each other harm? All this investigation work makes it clear, LA Priest is quite concerned, and the trepidation he has about our current state is reflected in the instrumentation that wavers and wriggles around us in an oddly satisfying way.

Best Moment: When Samuel swoops into his falsetto to deliver that passionate "I can't take it, anymore / Take it or leave it, I just can't let it go" line at 1:09.
