Nashville-based songwriter and producer ELROD showcases a melodic rock appeal on “Staring At The Sun.” “I got a guilty conscience and it’s killing me today,” a steady vocal immersion lets out amidst jangling guitars. An illuminated synth-laden intrigue interweaves seamlessly, developing into the textured distortion-friendly central hook that ensues. “I’m not laughing, but I’m having fun,” the vocals continue there with infectious qualities. The track compels consistently in its escalations from subdued, jangling introspection into a more raucously invigorating chorus, inducing replays in its sense of heartfelt sincerity and climactic structural satiation.
