The beautiful “Golden Hour” is the latest from Robi Mitch, the Bristol (UK)-based artist who has impressed previously with the tracks “Our Year” and “Distant Sun.” “Golden Hour” touts a quality that feels enchanting — led with ample charm by an ethereal vocal presence, mingling seamlessly with serene guitars and glistening keys, evidenced nicely at points like the two-minute mark. “All of my fears, where have they gone?” Mitch asks during the hook, a fantastic, melodic section.
Another recommended recent track from Robi Mitch is “Can’t Win,” released last month. “Can’t Win” and “Golden Hour” do well in showcasing Mitch’s strengths as a songwriter. The former touts a lusher synth-pop presence to start, with the “no matter how I try,” refrain playing with convincing allure. The wordless vocal section past the mid-point exudes a hypnotic, psych-friendly quality, carrying well into the satiating conclusion.
