The eerily consuming “Room for Three” is the debut single from ’59, a project led by Bay Area writer and producer Ryan Ehresman. As the lyrics recount a “story of climbing trees in Oakland,” hypnotic synth swirls and tender guitar twangs assemble an engrossing soundscape. A chordal shift at 02:26 adds a darker tint, helping conclude the track with satisfying delight. The “back at me,” reflection is capped by melodic guitar adornments throughout, combining with steady percussion and the fluid synths for a striking aesthetic.
“Room for Three” is the opening track from ’59’s new EP of the same name, showcasing a hypnotic vein of synth-guided psych-pop. Stream the rest of the EP below, including the excellent “Mary Cowell”:
