Moving with tenderness and heartwarming lyricism, ‘Between Bricks’ uncovers a listening experience that’s effortless, almost hypnotic, and rather crepuscular. The aural formula behind the single is simple and laidback, but also effective and evocative. Introduced by a gently fuzzy electric guitar and Mellotron-like soundscapes, ‘Between Bricks’ then welcomes Jared Fullerman’s vocals, here delivered with quiet restraint and introspective allure. As the track goes on, a playful and charming piano enters the sonic picture, then shifts into a sumptuous cinematic ending.
What more could you wish for? Fullerman offers a masterclass in minimalist production, packing a great deal of melancholic and poignant feelings into a lightweight masterpiece. Hailing from Ohio, the talented troubadour is now gearing up to release a full album, ‘Ins’, expected on May 1st. ‘Between Bricks’ is a rich preview of it, Jared’s second release of the year after ‘Super Senior (Smooth Stones)’.
Delving deeper into the record, Fullerman explains: “‘Between Bricks’ is the song that was hardest to write for this album, and (maybe because of that) it’s also the one I am most proud of. I really like songs that start in one small place and go somewhere larger and different by the end, which is what I wanted to accomplish here. The idea first sprang with the guitar riff at the start of the album version of the song, and the rest was pretty much written chronologically from there.”
