“I’m Here” is a haunting folk standout from The Child of Eve, the Chicago-based project of Ben Groth. Described as “about fear worn as a mask,” the track maneuvers from trickling acoustic-led momentum and enthralling vocals, which retain a powerful quality despite a tonal disposition that’s often hushed amidst the guitars and swells of strings, the latter creaking throughout until a layered final minute — where “I’m here” vocal decisiveness resonates alongside a darkly effective realm of distortion, strings, and guitars. Enamoring in its developments from contemplative folk to a more rock-touched edge, “I’m Here” represents the second song releases ahead of the project’s debut albujm, which we’re certainly now anticipating.
