Symbol Soup (known to family and friends as Michael Rea) has shared ‘Miniatures’ via Sad Club Records. With themes of detachment at its core, the song finds Michael looking at his own life as if it were a miniature model world.
This feeling of being out of control is delivered against a crescendo of guitars that veer between MJ Lenderman or Badly Drawn Boy-style introspection and the more anthemic stylings of Doves or Grandaddy. Melancholic and subtly powerful, it’s a comforting piece for anyone who’s felt like they’re sat on the sidelines.
