Forlorn guitar riffs float weightlessly and quickly collide with punchy organ keys on Cat Clyde’s new track “So Cold.” Clyde’s vocals pierce the atmosphere until they fully build at the 0:45 mark, where they’re joined by a now-soaring organ presence, balanced beautifully against the blues rock soundscape — fondly reminding of The Doors. A ghostly synth presence takes over at 1:09, eerily entrancing until the next gut-wrenching verse arrives. The meandering melodic trip gushes with a mysterious moodiness and its slow burn allows you to savor its complexity.
