Song Review/ Alt Rock : Patrick Costello’s ‘Borderline : Chaos at the Border’
For his latest release, Patrick Costello collaborates with the Knabokov Collective. Titled ‘Borderline : Chaos at the Border’, the track is a cinematic production. Flushed with rock features, jazz, Latin blues, and an unforgettable vocal line to go with it, the song is thoroughly engaging. Listening to it is like watching a play, the theatre comes alive with each frame. And there’s so many of them, strung into performative arcs.
The rock basslines set the stage, and built over it are crisscrossing accordions, clarinets, piano melodies, and an orchestra of so many other sounds and strokes. The moments in the bridge are high and potent with an aliveness, that leading into the climax becomes such a summit to end on. If you like an immersive, dramatic, and dynamic soundscape that sparks the imagination immediately, then this is definitely the song for you! Listen Now!
