Two recent tracks from Dan Cousart enamor with a melodic rock immediacy, impressing on both the rock and new-wave intertwining of “Dancing in the Kitchen” and Strokes-esque hookiness within “You’re a Ghost.” The East Nashville, TN-based singer-songwriter and producer shows a penchant for replay-inducing songwriting.
“Dancing in the Kitchen” commences with a grooving bass immersion, expanding into a blast of shimmering guitars and lush acoustic undercurrents. “It’s nice to begin again,” Cousart’s vocals let out with airy satiation, intensifying gradually into a synth-shimmering new-wave inspiration as the central hook takes hold. Meanwhile, “You’re a Ghost” channels early ’00s indie-rock nostalgia with its breezy guitar pulses and suave vocal declaration for “wasting so much time.” This pair of tracks from Cousart thoroughly impress in their radiant rock and pop prowess.
