The Canvas People are one of our favorite bands! “Starlit” exemplifies their vibe visually and sonically!
Austin, TX – May 31, 2019 – New single “Starlit” capitalizes on the 4-piece’s ability to weave illusive synths seamlessly into their already established musical dynamics. It serves as the perfect segue into a new record fueled by change. Musically, “Starlit” dances around the old and the new: catchy three-part vocal hooks accentuated by glossy synth pads and dreamy guitar riffs.
Thematically, “Starlit” is a song about millennial burnout. It was inspired by a particularly awful day of work, where lead singer, Kyle-Matthew Taylor, daydreamed of walking out and never looking back. He expands, “While financial woes and post-truth anxiety are pervasive themes, ultimately, I hope “Starlit” is a reminder that in the worst of times, we still have love and the stars to admire.” The group filmed a playful, star-centric music video. Taylor cycles through several versions of himself as trippy overlays and stars swarm the field of view. “Starlit” is the second single off the group’s upcoming LP, Garden Party, to be released this fall.
