On Rafael Vigilantics’ just-released single “Exit Here”, eerie guitar tones do great to establish a captivating soundscape in the first minute, with a smooth and precise vocal delivery that reminds of Aesop Rock. The “two shots down” bridge journeys cohesively into a hook-y chorus. A brass-laden bridge emerges thereafter, adding some effectivelate-night vibes. Overall, this is a captivating effort that’s structurally adventurous enough to captivate, injecting elements like brass to distinguish strongly. The consuming structure, top-notch production, and effective hook combine for a solid track from Rafael Vigilantics, has an LP with Blank City Records that is set to be released mid-April.
