“Soft Morning” struts a hooky rock immediacy from KYSSINGER, the Belgian indie rock project of Kent Huet. A Strokes-esque rock appeal enamors alongside lyrics that celebrate a reclaiming of personal time over one’s morning routines, absent of smartphones and technology’s all-encompassing grip. The poignant lyrical modernity melds with a contagious rock spirit for a quality showing from KYSSINGER.
The initial lyrics convey a wake-up routine amidst trickling guitars and warming bass lines. “I wanna see the world” they present, traversing into a punchy “take you back in time,” hook — reminding fondly there of The Strokes. “Soft Morning” appeals in its steadily escalating pop/rock spirit, exuding an early ’00s indie-rock nostalgia in its dynamic and satiating range — from the quainter “nothing else you can do,” gripes into the playful guitar punches within the “another day, another night,” infectiousness. We have this one on replay.
