Ehson Hashemian's "Comes And Goes" is the type of indie song that sneaks up on you, loud and noisy, thundering across the screen. Taken from the recently released album, the tune serves up an ideal blend of bursting indie rock confidence, indie pop charm, and laid-back grooves of indie dance. It's poignant, it's rhythmic, and it sounds like a long, oxygenating breath that you take on a long walk through memory. The production is clean, yet textured every instrument is well-seated in the performance, creating a dynamic environment that never buzzes too much to hear but is never still.
The guitar riffs are subtly catchy, complementing the wistful feel that you'll hear from the first few bars. Ehson's voice surfs the wave with an insouciant charm, soft, ruminative, and understatedly emotional. There's a play of opposites, in both sound and sentiment, on "Comes And Goes." There's a rhythm, musically and emotionally, which ebbs and flows in tune with its title, very nicely. The beat persists, like time itself, as the melodies drift in and out with a bittersweet effortlessness. Hashemian's storytelling style captures those everyday emotional tides we all struggle against, how love, certainty, and even joy can feel both solid and insubstantial.
There's a cinematic quality to the way the track unfolds, layer upon layer, slowly emerging from sparkling synth touches to the gradual increase in intensity as it surges toward the chorus. It's a track that paints the air around you, conjuring imagery in your head, whether it's the long, slow drive through the night or a moment of calm amid madness. Ehson Hashemian is giving away a piece of his inside, cut and assembled with care. It's a song that stays in your head long after it's over, the way you hold on to a moment when you weren't ready to go. For appreciators of reflective indie music that balances introspection and anthemic energy, this one is a quiet triumph.
