Two recent tracks from D.C.-based artist Hays Dowdy showcases the artist’s knack for quality songwriting within differing tonal spectrums. “The Ghost Before You” unveils a glistening folk-pop appeal, stirring with glistening piano and fluttering acoustics amidst the vocals of Hayes and Abby Sevcik. Smitten lyrical sentiments align with alchemical references in feeling like magic love. Elsewhere, the more recent “Hypnopompic State” pursues a darker, synth-forward entrancement — combining atmospheric synths and guitars for an immersive instrumental success.
