Jonathan Moonbear‘s excellent “It’s Not Me” mesmerizes with a dreamy psych-rock aesthetic. The track comes via the new album Positive Time + Negative Time =Now. The first half shows a fairly quaint, hypnotic sound with dazed vocals and trickling guitar delights, complemented by a lulling background of keys/organs. Glistening guitars round the two-minute mark, with the guitar-based presence increasing considerably in the jam-friendly second half, where shades of Pink Floyd enjoyably exist. The final minute captivates with escalating guitar distortion, playing with allure as eerie string-based segments linger in the background. “It’s Not Me” is a fantastic showing from Jonathan Moonbear, based out of Coventry, UK.
