DATCHA unveil another stunning & laidback single, "BONESAW"
Sliding into 2023 with a seriously special sounding single titled “BONESAW”, we’re loving everything about this release from the collective known as DATCHA. Do yourselves a favor and read on for our thoughts on the track, as well as a background on this artist.
From the musical mind of Josh Friedman comes his project called DATCHA. Currently representing the music scene in Boston, MA, Featuring a “revolving door of musical collaborators” their latest work has impressed us with the sonic soundscapes created on his latest endeavor, “BONESAW”. If it happens to be your introduction to their work, we’ve found this to be an ideal jumping off point to explore so much more.
On the background of it all lyrically, ultimately “BONESAW” sends a straightforward message of “staying strong after moving on”. While we’ve got a sneaking suspicion it might be alluding to moving past a relationship, we particularly enjoy the opportunity to match it up with other similar life situations. It’s an optimistic message that further gets broken down as you connect the dots within their words and absolutely leads to the well rounded feeling of this song as a whole. Most listeners might quickly be immersed in the laid back and calming nature of this song, especially as its pounding bass sets the tone from the beginning. It’s also hard to deny that Josh’s vocals are silky smooth, providing a much needed constant and juxtaposition compared to its electronic production.
Overall though, there’s a real versatility that we felt this song held too. Undoubtedly it’s introspective given what it speaks about, but it’s also a sleeper in the sense that there’s a nicely hidden groove coursing throughout the backbone. It doesn’t rely on flashy gimmicks or novelty to hold your attention, rather embraces minimalism and holds itself to a high standard of quality. You can listen to it over and over and it’s got that euphoric effect, so without a doubt, we know we’ll be coming back to it as soon as possible. In the meantime though, we’re urging everyone out there to click the links below in order to listen, follow along, and of course to stay tuned for all future releases and information. Enjoy!
