Bitter Roots Recordings is proud to present “The Way We Feel,” the debut single from Bozeman, Montana’s Jaque Visser. While polished tracks and ear-catching tracks are nothing new for Visser considering his production resume as DuBuddha, “The Way We Feel” boldly announces a new stylistic chapter that will only serve to broaden his appeal. Visser’s emotive vocals take center-stage, utilizing both layered harmonies and creative effects processing to craft a radio-ready slice of indie pop. Fans nostalgic for early 2010s acts like MGMT and Empire of the Sun will feel right at home, as will those who enjoy current artists like Charlie Puth and James Blake.

From the opening moments, “The Way We Feel” is a crash course in Visser’s knack for melody. Rhythmic synthesizer stabs crescendo into an effortless blend of electronic drums and shimmering synthesizers. Visser’s roots in electronic music are on clear display as saturated strings and reverb-laden filter sweeps blend together in the song’s arrangement, creating exciting dynamic changes that lend a progressive structure to the track. All of these elements peak in the song’s kinetic 2nd half, the resonant bassline serving as a linchpin as the other elements achieve a climax of rich textures. The clear result is a sun-soaked anthem for all seasons that hints at even greater music yet to come from Jaque Visser.
