A soulfully haunting pop spell takes hold across “Blue Saint River,” a memorable new track from Winston Orz. The Wilmington, NC-based artist has caught our ears in the past with tracks like the dreamy psych-pop gem “Smooth Magic” and ghostly folk intrigue of “Goners,” and continues to immerse here with a dynamic, heart-tugging sound on “Blue Saint River.”
Described as “a dreamy, nostalgia fueled journey through the past,” “Blue Saint River” attains a romantic feeling in its haunting vocal croon, ruminating acoustics, and subtle orchestral elements — bolstered throughout by ghostly vocal backings. Glistening, jangly guitars join with harmonious vocal layers as the first minute begins to conclude, then continuing with starry-eyed entrancement throughout. “Blue Saint River” is another standout success from Winston Orz.
