Conjuring a serene rock engrossment with jazzy rhythmic appeal, “The Spins” is a memorable track from Chicago-based artist A.D. Kessler. Coming via the forthcoming debut album Cobalt Blue, “The Spins” melds composed vocal introspection with gentle guitar chiming and bustling rhythms. A crawling bass line and swinging drums assemble an intoxicating undercurrent, as Kessler’s steady vocal delivery culminates into a “got the spins,” concluding declaration.
There’s a fond aesthetic likeness to The Smile’s production throughout, thanks to the complex rhythms and more tranquil guitar-laden tones amidst the chilly vocal tones. “Shadow on, shadow off,” the vocals let out at mid-point, maintaining a steady tonal and structural repetition that lends itself well to the hypnotic overall production, emanating a nocturnal mystique. “The Spins” is a stylish success from A.D. Kessler, whose upcoming debut album we’re certainly looking forward to.
