Listen: Ballsy - "Easy" -- Obscure Sound

Ballsy – “Easy”

/

Charming in its pulsing hookiness, “Easy” is a replay-inducing new track from Ballsy, the new solo project of Caveboy’s synth-bassist Isabelle Banos. She describes the release as an exploration of “about getting in your own way of feeling real love.”

A glistening pop dreaminess and alt-rock vigor sway back and forth with compelling immersion. The “just dying for you to listen,” vocals envelop alongside dynamic instrumentation — ranging from the balmy acoustic strums and hazy synths to the more ardent rock expanses. “You’ve got a way of making it feel easy,” Banos continues during the lush folk-friendly build-up, culminating seamlessly thereafter into the impassioned rock pulses. “Easy” is a fantastic, melodic output from Ballsy.

This and other tracks featured this month can be streamed on the updating Obscure Sound’s ‘Emerging Singles’ Spotify playlist.

The track is also featured in the genre-based, best-of Spotify compilation Emerging Indie Rock.
