Perth’s four-piece Indie Pop band Joan & the Giants have just dropped their fourth single of the year, ‘How Could You?’.
The song opens with a soft, yet haunting instrumental which sets up an intimate atmosphere to complement the poignant themes to follow. Emotionally charged vocals then enter in a mellow manner and slowly build up until the song reaches a climax.
The atmospheric juxtaposition between the verses and chorus replicate how conflicting emotions can arise during betrayal. This juxtaposition also occurs lyrically. In the first verse, vocalist, Grace Newton-Wordsworth, places the focus onto the significant other. However, by the second verse, she takes some responsibility for her own actions within the relationship.
Throughout the duration of this tragically beautiful single Joan & the Giants provide an introspective perspective on heartbreak that will resonate with most. This is a must-listen for anyone seeking a raw, emotional, and heartfelt musical experience.
