Yaehsun and the translucent beauty of "Windermere" Featuring Dan Mangan

 

"I love the real you..."

"Windermere" by Yaehsun, the project name of Toronto-based Canadian multi-instrumentalist Jason Haberman, is one of those songs that, in temperament, feels translucent like a sonic mirage. I literally feel my eyelids get heavier as I absorb the mellowness not because it makes me sleepy but because it makes me escape into hundreds of sun splattered memories. I think it is the incredible surf meets garden rock vibed guitar and keys, the beat that shifts a hard snare for a soft one and back again, the percolating bass, the dreamy synths and Dan Mangan's hushed and hypnotic vocal aesthetic poised perfectly in the pocket.

Haberman shares:

"My daily ritual changed shape, day into night this bizarre perception of time circled around me - and still does. Devouring seasons, gathering hope, pondering subtle breezes that turn to rapid growth and repetition. All in time - go easy on yourself.”

"Windermere" will likely become my daily ritual and in some odd way it feels like an inner sourced amalgam of Porches, Smashing Pumpkins and Fleetwood Mac.
