![]() We don’t get enough pop music that revolves around piano, save for the occasional ballad. “Sunday Scaries” is equally fantastic, and sounds a bit more like American English. It shares the newer, youthful sound that I hope continues on the new album - Tor clearly has a long career ahead of him so he may as well embrace his youth while he’s living it. I’m so overwhelmed by the fact that I have a pair of new songs, I can’t even decide which one I like best. “I am bored and alone, scared of myself and I’m trying to cope with the world outside my phone” But at the same time, it’s comfortable because it’s nostalgic and something you’ve known forever. And the longer you’re there, the less likely it feels that you’ll ever get out. Nothing’s really wrong, it’s just not what you want. ![]() It really captures the feeling of being trapped in the suburbs. Tunnel vision, heart racing, my brain feels like it’s underwater. “Surviving The Suburbs” gives me the same feeling I get when my therapist asks me what I’ll do if I never reach the lofty goals I’ve set for myself. And the best part is, these songs fit that fear perfectly. I just looked it up and nearly threw up, time is slipping away like sands through the hourglass and I am nERVOUS about getting OLD. He’s been making consistently amazing music since I first discovered him… 3 1/2 years ago. It’s not often that I find an artist where I don’t skip a single song, but Tor is one of those lucky few. It’s not that he sounds less mature or less polished his voice just has more life to it? He sounds less like he’s spent 40 years in a smoky jazz club, more like the 20-something that he is. I don’t want to say “he sounds younger on these songs” but… in some way, he does. ![]() Tor is an incredibly talented musician and I think these two songs may be some of his best work yet. If you haven’t listened to Tor Miller before, you’re either new to my blog or you ignore my most desperate pleas. Not one but two new songs!!! The AUDACITY! I had six other articles on the go and I dropped them all because Tor Miller just shook my entire evening around.
