“Down” by The Strike

The Strike has a powerful indie-pop voice that resonates that of artists like 1975. His vocals have a strong range that knows how to make a story into a musical masterpiece.

The production is working overtime in this song, but in the best way. “Down” is filled with a range of instrumental arrangements that work alongside the lyrics that help lift them up to their fullest potential.

The strike truly creates a song that is in equal parts about the lyrics, production, and journey. Definitely worth a listen or two.
