Goldwater Day After Day

It's really obvious that some artists are not in it (it being this whole amorphous music industry thing) for short bursts of attention, but rather find themselves drawn down a long, winding road, typically filled with growth, experience, and continual change.

I come back again and again to this melodramatic thought when I listen to "Day After Day" from Ontario musician Goldwater. A few years back Goldwater was producing left-field instrumentals like "Glaciate." Now he's dropping original tracks that feature his own voice and lyrics, incorporating guitar licks and other flairs that give this new single a distinct Daft Punk feel. It's electronic, it's pop, it's unexpected, and above all its whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
