Indietronica Act Qualms Share New Single “Proof”
Indietronica duo Qualms have shared their new single “Proof”. The transatlantic collaborative project between Michigan-based vocalist/lyricist Alexander Lynch and West Sussex-based producer Gabriel Gould-Davies have been releasing music since 2021, and their latest is an exploration of regret and isolation.
Dreamy synthesizers and underlying UK garage influences give the song an unsuspecting energy, as Lynch’s haunting vocals add a stirring, atmospheric element. About the song, he shares, “Proof was one of the earlier songs Gabriel and I collaborated on fully and it’s very personal content-wise. I tend to isolate myself from social things and crowds to reflect on what’s happened in my life. Sometimes it can be for a while and while I was writing a lot of our current songs late last year, I think I really felt isolated. This song specifically is centered around regretting things in the past and trying to remain optimistic looking forward. I wanted to capture that emotion and have it live in this introspective world I’ve created for myself. The isolation allowed me to focus on the themes of the songs and it very much sets the tone for a lot of the work coming this year.”
