Jason Lyles’ ‘Deflated’ is a Glazed 70s Rock Burnish
Jason Lyles is no ordinary musician. He is certainly one of a kind. With an extraordinary zeal for connecting different worlds and times of music, he liberates even the most commonplace themes and shifts them into a new plane of perception. ‘Deflated’ is his latest single in which he polishes 70s rock with burnished melodic rock structures, bluesy pop evocations, and glazed alt rock. It explores the cycle of loss, grief, and acceptance. Each phase is forged conceptually with resonant instrumentals and deep emotion.
The track rolls slowly as if weighed down by something. Staunch hard rock bass lines plug into the soundscape, drowning it in distortions. Loss. Pounded with steady beat lines, the riffs rise and fall around it like hypnotic waves. And Jason’s expressive baritones, grind them all, verse by verse, word by word. Grief. In the bridge, the track swells with thick and layered instrumentation, bursting at the seams before delivering us into a lilting neo-classical climax.
The light textures of the violin and guitar acoustics at the end are sharp contrasts to the track’s riff-laden beginnings. With this soft, elegant touch, the artist lifts the pressure on the listener. The weight suddenly vanishes and there’s an open-ended levity. Acceptance.
