A lulling atmospheric success from Los Angeles-based artist Easton, “Can’t Help But Check My Phone” melds crooner-minded nostalgia with hazy guitar jangles, conjuring a sound fondly reminiscent of King Krule.
The title-touting hook speaks directly in addressing a societal obsession with screens and instant correspondence, bolstered thereafter by a synth-laden dreaminess that admits a want to “fall into your bedsheets, wrapped up in these daydreams.” The track enamors with its woozy soundscape and tender vocal engrossment throughout.
Easton is also well-known for his work as a fashion photographer. Check out his impressive work on Instagram.
