Sharktank are the creators of a laid-back, easygoing and sophisticated yet jazzy style of music that’s been breaking through. Their new single “Chemtrails & Paper Planes” is taken from their forthcoming LP Acting Funny. Packed with gentle easy listening guitar chords, subtle harmonies and a steady kick beat, the new single demonstrates the idea behind their music touching upon insecurities and self-criticism.
Speaking on the new single, Sharktank wrote: “Chemtrails & Paper Planes marks change: For the first time, the band worked with a ready-made text, and the song serves as a symbolic analogy for our shifted production approach. It speaks to the palpable shifts in the world, like the pull of weary distractions such as casinos online that echo our insecurities, and the retreat into one’s own childhood, seeking a link to the naively beautiful, to lightness, through gentle instrumentation and melancholy.”
“Chemtrails & Paper Planes” makes for an engaging, jazz-tinged indie release, out now on all streaming platforms.
