“Enclave on a Present” is a beautiful, dreamy new monitor from Sunchoke, the undertaking of Philadelphia-based musician Donald McGrath. Twangy guitar layers and regular percussion craft a warming soundscape, as McGrath’s vocals exude a way of wistful nostalgia: “Gone are all the times that I knew, I’ll see them in my desires.”
The swaying guitars and delicate vocals take up with their lush appeal, whereas the lyricism invokes the innocence of childhood recollections — areas unclouded by concern or cynicism, the place love and creativeness stay intact. Throughout each wordless vocal harmonizing and placing imagery — “”climbing bushes, magnolia flowers” — “Enclave on a Present” proves magnetic in its serene soundscape and emotive thematic entrancement.
McGrath says of the monitor:
“‘Enclave on a Present’ is impressed by a portray my first good friend’s mom made from the Delaware river. The track is about reminiscence, love, and the areas in our childhood minds that aren’t jaded and aren’t afraid to dream. I wrote this track as a part of the method of reconnecting with the components of myself which have been swept away by life.”
