In “I can feel the waves,” the new single from New York City artist Frances Chang, a piano-centric melody is ornamented with primitive electronics and poetic vocals. The track boldly demonstrates Chang’s strengths in unconventional yet contagious songwriting, and pioneers a genre the artist refers to as “slacker prog”: roomy and playful, offbeat and occasionally jarring, brimming with spiritual and emotional resonance. Eccentric and electric at once, Chang inhabits the mundane with an otherworldly aura. Music that is truly its own.
