Capturing a palpable sense of yearning, “Missing” is an affecting new track from New Jersey-based artist Tim Mountain. An enjoyable range of contemplative acoustics and bursting guitars escalate alongside melodic vocals, which remind fondly of A.C. Newman. “Feels like a curse,” they lament during a stirring rise, contemplating on how “all these days, feel like the sweetest malaise,” as jangling guitars join into illuminated keys. “Missing” compels in its amiable melodic direction and hooky immediacy.
