“Slow My Heart Rate Down” (Callum Pitt song)

Callum Pitt sounds like he’s sitting back from everyday life floating on clouds of memory on “Slow My Heart Rate Down.” His expressive falsetto meshes perfectly with the build of piano, synth, guitar and drums before transitioning to an impassioned peak and falling back into a tranquil infinity. It’s a song for anyone who has ever let their feelings get ahead of them or who feel so strongly that it hurts. The inevitable comparisons to Radiohead and Jónsi will happen with the finger picking and the falsetto but Pitt’s own fluidly versatile singing style and songwriting, as with the aforementioned, goes beyond superficial similarities and on the other songs on the Poisoned Reveries EP, his oh-so-subtle quaver and vibrato demonstrates a connection to a deep well of emotion that can only be individual.
