Orange County-based songwriter/producer Skyler Garn fronts the project Mortimer, named after his dog Morty. New track “Align” delights with a mellow working of guitars and synths. Following the one-minute mark, soaring vocals emerge alongside a shimmering guitar line addition. A ruminating bass and swelling synth assemble over the two-minute mark, with the bright tonal pairing of the guitars, vocals, and synths converging again in cohesive form thereafter. Contemporary synth-fueled indie-pop meshes with ’80s guitar tones for an accessibly engaging track from Mortimer.
