Tulsa, OK-based guitarist and producer Chris Combs impresses on his two newest singles — “Historicity and “Can’t Cease” — with an inviting alt-rock confidence, channeling ’90s grunge influences alongside his personal signature dynamics — from the industrial-touched vigor of “Historicity” to the grooving guitar atmospherics inside “Can’t Cease.”
“Historicity” is splendidly exemplary of Combs’ eclectic tonal vary. Haunting guitar tones and twinkling results pair with hypnotic vocal introspection, transferring thereafter from a glimmering dreaminess into the aforementioned industrial infusion, the place buzzing instrumentation and click-clacking rhythms emerge with enthralling qualities. Ravishing strings ensue, additional bolstering the magnetic general sound. “Historicity” envelops in each moments of dreamy contemplation and cinematic-ready grandiosity.
Additionally a standout, “Can’t Cease” strikes with a extra psych-friendly rock immediacy, as pulsing guitars and bouncing bass accompany “it’s not a giant deal” vocal suaveness. The title-touting hook is implausible, incorporating strings as nicely, right here inside a extra alt-rock edge. The atmospheric guitar work all through swells with decisive, melodic satiation. Each of those tracks are replay-inducing gems from Chris Combs.
