A fresh delivery from Alejandro Lopes
From his upcoming EP, I’m Really Bad with Names, Venezuela born musician Alejandro Lopes offers us the first single, “I Can’t Read Your Mind.” This track is a mid-tempo wall of sound that echoes the likes of The Jesus and Mary Chain, laying it on thick from the beginning, and somehow only getting thicker– so much so that by the time the guitar solo comes in at 1:53, you may find yourself wondering just how many tracks of guitar are layered into this monster. Lopes maintains his steady vocal throughout, at times nearly crooning to the listener, occasionally hitting us with a welcomed falsetto. We finally get to come up for air around 2:52, when Lopes sings to us softly, with just a lone guitar. I hope he takes this song on tour because it is going to completely level entire seas of people.
“I Can’t Read Your Mind” will be released on Saturday, July 23, on all streaming platforms.
