IF YOU ARE NOT YET ACQUAINTED WITH BOSTON UP-AND-COMER, DEV SOTER, HIS NEWEST OFFERING “BETWEEN THE LINES” IS A GREAT PLACE TO START. IN AN ETHEREAL YET GROUNDED SHOWCASE OF INDIE-ROCK AND INDIE-POP-INFUSED UNIQUITY, SOTER NAVIGATES HIS VOICE THROUGH A WASHED-OUT LANDSCAPE OF EIRY GUITAR PROGRESSIONS AND DRIVEN PERCUSSION. KEEPING TABS ON HIS PREVIOUS RELEASES, SOTER’S GRUFF VOCAL TONE AND SPATIAL AWARENESS WITHIN THE TRACK SHOWCASE HIS GROWTH AND EVER-EXPANDING VERSATILITY.
AN INTROSPECTIVE LOOK INTO THE MIND OF THE YOUNG ARTIST, “BETWEEN THE LINES” CAPTURES A WHIRLWIND OF EMOTIONS AND VULNERABILITY. CENTERED AROUND THE CONCEPT OF NOT BEING COMPATIBLE WITH SOMEONE YOU LOVE, SOTER UTILIZES HIS GIFTS TO PAINT A FAMILIAR FEELING FOR MANY. REFLECTING ON THE TRACK’S PERSONAL SIGNIFICANCE, SOTER STATED,
“YOU’LL MEET A TON OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE, THAT, EVEN THOUGH IT’S NOTHING PERSONAL, YOU WON’T ALWAYS RELATE & SEE THINGS FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE…THAT’S WHAT THIS RECORD IS ABOUT FOR ME.”
RICH IN TEXTURE AND FULL OF GEMS, “BETWEEN THE LINES” IS NOT ONE TO MISS. IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY DONE SO, I SUGGEST HITTING THE SPOTIFY PREVIEW LINK BELOW AND GIVING THIS BAD BOY A LISTEN. WITHOUT A DOUBT, DEV SOTER IS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING EMERGING ARTISTS OUT, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING WHAT HE DOES NEXT!
