Madrid-based artist Antuan. stirs with the reflective new track “A Blast From Your Past,” representing the lead single from his upcoming debut EP, PAST I. “I just think you’re cool babe, I’ve been waiting forever,” yearning vocals open amidst balmy guitar jangles. “I can’t wait forever,” they continue, accompanied melodically by twangy guitar flourishes as a title-touting arrival hits. There, hazy guitars sway alongside Antuan.’s alluring vocal work for a lushly enchanting feeling. “Freedom is what you seek,” furthers a striving for personal catharsis, following contemplations on baggage from the past.
The track releases alongside a blissful music video, above, that was recorded in Saint Jean de Luz, France. Certain visuals stand out wonderfully, such as the sights of Antuan. dragging baggage across a sandy beach as guitar twangs prance about with seamless lushness, with aesthetical shades of Jerry Paper. “A Blast From Your Past” marks a delectably mellow, replay-inducing success from Antuan., whose EP we’re firmly anticipating.
