Michael Aldag, Liverpool-based singer-songwriter writes in the quiet beginnings of his new track“Chase,” that uneasy space of your mid-twenties where everything feels simultaneously strange and comfortable. It is a song that makes no such claims to know, only to feel.
“Chase” embodies the push-pull of longing and the drunken hangover to come. It is a topic about which Aldag sings from a place most have been before, in the position of being romantically unavailable while still yearning to connect.
The track dances on its feet while loaded with emotional weight, it is a poetic reflection on the urgency of a night spent pursuing moments more than meaning. It is weak without being melodramatic, reflective without dragging its feet.
