There are connections back to their shared history streaming through every quiet moment of Chris Stamey’s new collaboration with Mitch Easter — and even more light.
“Invisible,” an advance song from Chris Stamey’s upcoming Euphoria manages to reanimate everything there was to love about Stamey’s time in the dBs and Easter’s period leading Let’s Active, without sounding derivative. No, it’s simply surrounded by too much wonder and magic for something so retrograde as nostalgia.
The interesting part is that “Invisible” grew out of something painful. But maybe that’s always been what made Chris Stamey’s gleaming pop songs so special, the way that something darker can move beneath their surface. The result is a gripping emotional tension.
