Soon to be 27, Sacha Talens is an upcoming artist from Toronto,Canada, with this being his first solo debut LP 'The Bathurst Moment' - he will be releasing once it is fully finished. He has been writing songs for others
and producing and stuff for several years, and then decided to give it a shot on his own. In my opinion it is pretty unique as all the tracks that are on the album so far are all different from one another, making each track unique because they dont sound all the same.
Collectively, the album as I have said is different from other upcoming artists I have heard previously, this is because every song is different when you listen to all the album. 'Balcony Girl' is all vocals and the thing I love about Sacha is that his lyrics are a bit random and unique ("I'm a fish, with a body of a human") and you probably would not expect to hear songs like this until you come across Sacha Talens!
'A la derive' the second track on the album is totally different from the first track, with its backing track of low bass guitar and drums and a melody, it is a song you can listen to whilst just chilling out, it is not too in your face, which is a good thing, because it is not too overpowering for your ears.
'The Tea House' is a story-telling song through the lyrics, to me a bit of a random story but has a catchy tune so it gets stuck in your head. Sacha has the most bizarre lyrics for his songs, but this is good because it makes people listen to the song properly and think 'Did he just sing that?'
Overall, the album has a bit of a random side what with the bizarre lyrics but as I have said, this is a good thing because people do not normally go for weird lyrics, therefore this is a unique selling point with Sacha's music. Keep it up Sacha and I hope to hear from you soon!
