Barista – “Haze”
“Haze” is a track from Barista‘s recent album, Open Sesame Vol 2: Press Rewind. Shimmering guitars open the track with inviting qualities, expanding with a feverish rock twang thereafter. The vocals glide in alongside organ-laden touches and the steady guitar-based backbone. “All I needed was you,” the vocals let out, emitting a Springsteen-esque charm. The “played the part as a joker,” bridge adds a suave, laid-back disposition, contrasting nicely against the more rock-forward moments.
The Istanbul-based rock project is the moniker of musician Bahad?r Han Ery?lmaz, churning out a timeless vein of rock, as evidenced by “Haze” and other highlights on the album.

Uncomfortably close to Jackson Brown’s Running on Empty.
