Therapies Son: “Touching Down”
[from Over The Sea EP / Transparent] 

Every time I hear that first moment in which the lead guitar line of “Touching Down” slides in to join up with the slow building piano chords as they march along, my heart leaps. There’s something contained in that line that would be impossible for me or anyone else to explain without experimenting with the right mixture of drugs. It’s as if every bit of nostalgia tucked away in the nooks and crannies of my brain comes spilling out all at once.

Therapies Son is the recently incarnated project of one Alex Jacob, a 19 year old from Van Nuys, California. The project was birthed by Jacob as a literal sort of therapy to deal with the end of a romantic relationship and was initially thrown out amongst the internet by Jacob himself just to see if anyone liked it. It’s clear that Transparent made a clever move in snapping this young man up right away.
