Chicago native and Nashville-based artist Jack Byron enamors with the brightly infectious “My Technicolor Serenade,” whose brassy infusions, glowing organs, and anthemic vocal pushes combine for a vibrant appeal.
Succeeding in embracing “the polarity of life, in a luxurious way if possible,” “My Technicolor Serenade” echoes a sort of nostalgic Brit-pop whimsy in its brassy rise and “every day’s a holiday,” vocal ascent, conjuring shades of Blur’s Parklife era. The initial piano-fronted perkiness and “what a hell of a year,” remarking escalates with seamless charm into these rousing, replay-enticing sections. “My Technicolor Serenade” consumes with brightly enthusiastic qualities throughout.
