Goste is Providing Some Powerful, Emotive Music [stream]

goste – Loaded Like a Pistol SoundCloud

Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist and producer goste is back with his third EP, Eugene, which features the powerful single “Loaded Like a Pistol”. Rather than sampling tracks, goste (aka Owen Ross) uses his own smooth vocals instead — and trust me, this is in no way a bad thing. Guitar plucking and rollicking drums accompany the singer/songwriter through this musical adventure, as his vocals steadily increase with hope until a climax where Ross yells then breathes out a seemingly futile, “And loaded like a pistol.” The rest of the song meanders through murky guitar and drums, giving the general impression of there being no point in trying anymore. The song is an emotional mountain range that you’ll want to prepare for ahead of time. Catch goste at Cameo Gallery on December 4th for his EP release party.
