Brooklyn based Hundreds Thousands (Zach Britt) has had two official releases and has six new singles coming out between June & the end of the summer. His music is very much in the style of a Sylvan Esso or Phantogram – with sample-based production, bass synths, and hooky vocals over the top of it all. His music is deeply rooted in the folk/singer-songwriter structure, but is heavily influenced by and lives in the electronic world – a combination of his upbringing in North Carolina & formative time in Brooklyn.
“Restless Serenade” is a song about falling in love with your best friend. It’s that song of a siren, sweet yet repressed, calling at your inner ego from the sub levels of the psyche. A beckoning for attention, but maybe not as you originally understood it. The punchy bass synths emote a sense of movement, very much as the title insists. Warm cassette-tape vocals take you to a very intimate and analog state of listening. It breaks away from the processing of current pop, and leaves the listener with an unobstructed view of a narrative, as well as a refreshingly crisp instrumentation to dig into and groove around.
The single with its accompanying visualizer is here for you to view! Animation done by Gaybo, who has done music videos for Griz, Big Wild, Louis The Child, Krewella, & XXXTENTACION, with beautiful drone shots from around the globe filmed by Carter Wong.
“…instead he saw other faces, many, a long sequence, a flowing river of faces, of hundreds, of thousands, which all came and disappeared, and yet all seemed to be there simultaneously, which all constantly changed and renewed themselves…”
