A newly released track “inspired by late-night train rides home,” “Light’s Low” is a success from Canadian artist Avery Laird. Mellow keys flicker with a nocturnal tint to start, as hazy smatterings of guitar kick into gear alongside percussion and lush vocals. Laird’s vocals assume a perkier, brighter quality during the satisfying chorus, complemented by a piano-laden bounce and ensuing guitar twang. “Light’s Low” impresses with its quality songwriting and tonal variety, meshing the lush late-night feel of the verses with the hooky bounciness of the chorus.
