Lucas Köksal, an independent producer and singer/songwriter from Windsor, Ontario, captivates with his new single, “let you down”, from his upcoming debut EP. This track blends indie pop, dream pop, and alt pop, evoking the sounds of Tame Impala and Beach House. Rich in dissonance and long, lingering notes, “let you down” flows slowly, akin to honey dripping from a glass jar. Or, given the melancholic tone, perhaps something less sweet and more somber, like Marmite.
The song’s lush production features reverberated vocals that create a haunting, reflective atmosphere. Its deliberate pace allows each note to resonate deeply, drawing listeners into a melancholic embrace. Köksal’s ability to merge genres is evident, with “let you down” combining the dreamy qualities of dream pop with the introspective lyricism of indie pop.
The vocals, layered with reverb, complement the atmospheric instrumentals, giving the song a ghostly quality. This slow progression and emotive delivery create an immersive, haunting experience. “let you down” stands as a testament to Köksal’s dedication to honest, heartfelt music, promising an evocative debut EP.
Fans of Tame Impala, Beach House, and other dream pop and indie pop artists will find much to love in “let you down.” This single is perfect for introspective, moody playlists.
