Rising Manchester indie star Jack Hyphen is here with his new single, "Already Lost." A shimmering concoction of introspective songwriting and driving indie rock, Hyphen is a promising artist with a reputation for his explosive live shows around Manchester. He is steadily growing his fan base with this track that does justice to those of us who struggle with the internal battle within when fighting self-doubt or wrestling with our own conscience.
"Already Lost" is a heavy, emotive track that seamlessly teeters between moody harmonies and driving guitar-led commotion. The song illustrates the battle to find clarity in inner turmoil. Featuring macabre harmonies and poignant lyrics, it guides you through reflection's hall of mirrors, Jack offering a raw account of the struggle against self-delusive thoughts and external pressures.
It's all about the effort to remain self-aware and trust our own voice when others are so vocal. The poignant center of the song encapsulates, "Keep me from running to your lies." This general feeling strikes a chord with anyone who ever feels at a loss when confronted by life's difficult choices.
Hyphen's songwriting is evident here, contrasting a particular kind of openness with an intensity. And damn, we do dig that gorgeously energetic undercarriage and windy vibe of the song. Jack describes the song's inspiration, "I really wanted guitars to drive this track, alongside some great harmonies and I think we achieved this." "Already Lost" is an impressive testament to his development as a musician and a musical storyteller. With this release, Jack Hyphen again shows us why he's one to watch. The song is as emotionally raw as it is musically fascinating.
