After launching three LPs, the New Jersey indie pop singer-songwriter Woodstone is teasing what’s to come in installation number four with the release of his latest heart-wrenchingly raw single, Touch of Adrenaline.
With an 00s-adjacent sound that will throw you right back to when the fervour around Plain White T’s single Hey There Delilah consumed popular culture, the heart-on-strings folk-rendered indie pop symphony will leave you hanging off every cuttingly cultivated chord progression and every unfeigned outpour of emotion.
The pulls of the orchestral strings, which work their way into the mix accompanied by folky instrumentals, allow the intimate sonic landscape of candour to evolve into a study of contrasts between the ornate orchestral motifs and the winding Kurt Vile-reminiscent folk strings.
As the single lyrically contends with the pain of knowing the feeling of electricity between skin will be ephemeral, Woodstone exhibits one of the most scintillating song structures the airwaves have been graced with this year.
Touch of Adrenaline will be available to stream on all major platforms from December 13th, with Woodstone’s fourth album, Glass Skin, set to follow in early 2025.
Woodstone said:
“Touch of Adrenaline is about a relationship with an end date, with both parties knowing it will end, and the last fleeting moments being marked by intensified emotion.
“The single explores what it really means to truly feel and be present with someone you love for the last time while conveying an image of romance in the midst of a dystopian world.
“Like all songs on the upcoming concept album, it was inspired by a relationship that could have worked but wasn’t the right time, and life forced us to drift apart.”
Amelia Vandergast, Executive Editor at A&R Factory said:
“Rugged in all the right places, stirringly diaphanous in all the rest, Touch of Adrenaline is enough to sink you into an awe-struck stupor as you attempt to take in the vivacious display of talent that translates into evocatively piercing aural gold.”
