The lead single from Matt John Henderson‘s upcoming album Soul Season, “Lopsided Truth Sayer” hypnotizes with a meditative pull, infusing folk with eastern influence. Tabla plays a prominent role throughout, emitting a calming flickering amidst lush percussive additions, courtesy of the djembe. Henderson’s vocals maintain a consistent, serene quality throughout. The UK-based artist recalls the likes of George Harrison in the calming, psychedelic folk allure, aiming successfully to induce “the imagination in arresting ways.”
