The shimmering Casio-esque synths in Jeremy Winter’s “Construct” strike a nostalgic, melancholy tone as buoyed gently by accented low end. But the romance of the song is in the honoring of the very real need of all people to have an emotional, often physical as well, space in order to be able to develop in a healthy way undistracted by the pull of others on your psyche and a world that demands you be on for machinations that have little to do with your internal life and identity. We’re encouraged to construct our lives to adapt to arbitrary standards all the time and in this song Winter encourages himself and others to awaken to what we really want and need and to make the space to discover what that is and in doing so maybe it’s possible to have genuine and positive relationships and engagements with the world on mutual terms without burying ourselves in the process. For fans of Neon Indian, Future Islands and John Maus. Listen below and follow Winter’s work further at the links provided.
