On his debut single Southern Indiana Nights, Indianapolis-based singer-songwriter J.T. Larsen presents a rich slice of alt-country brilliance.
Across the new single’s four-minute run-time, J.T. Larsen glides through a rich blend of country, folk, and alt-rock, delivering a sound that is truly his own. With textured instrumentation and endearing vocal hooks, Southern Indiana Nights is the kind of track that’ll stick with you for weeks.
As the track progresses, Larsen traverses story-driven lyricism with captivating ease. His vocal delivery will pull you in, and by the time the track reaches its conclusion, you’ll be left completely spell-bound by his layers of sounds.
“For me, the song is a lot about going back to basics. Going back to the time when you fell in love with music and thinking about the people and place where that happened,” Larsen says of the song.
“So when I got around to recording the song, I wanted it to have this “’spirit of a care-free kid jamming with his buddy in his parent’s basement’ sort of thing.”
These may still be early days for this Indianapolis artist, but judging by the quality of what we’ve heard so far, I think we can safely expect plenty more quality tunes. In the meantime, do yourself a favour and listen to Southern Indiana Nights above.
