Jon Parratt – “For You”

/

A brief though harmoniously impactful folk success, “For You” is an enveloping track from Jon Parratt, an artist based in Sydney, Australia. Intertwining acoustic and electric guitars infuse with artful cohesion, amidst subtle electronic textures. Parratt’s background includes creating music for cinema, and “For You” certainly captures his talent for riveting, introspective soundscapes. “I’m drawn to atmosphere and emotion, and I try to create space for listeners to feel something personal when they hear my work,” he says.

Beautiful, layered guitars captivate right away, as lush acoustics linger seamlessly alongside sporadic electric guitar tenderness. The one-minute turn sees a slight tonal heightening of the electric guitar, delicately conveying a sense of momentum that still maintains the combined guitars’ hypnotic allure. “For You” is a warming, comforting listening experience from Jon Parratt that charms in its heartfelt melodic direction and serene folk aesthetical entrancement.

The track is also featured in the genre-based, best-of Spotify compilation Emerging Indie Folk.
