Texas singer-songwriter Ethan Pacheco has reached a defining moment of artistic clarity with the release of his new EP, "On Either Side." The four songs on the EP take listeners on an emotional ride through the highs and lows of relationships, ambition, and self-discovery as artists. The 21-year-old from Red Oak is very mature for his age and sincere. His project is based on real-life experiences, deep thought, and a growing sense of who he is.
Taylor Tatsch at AudioStyles in Fredericksburg recorded, mixed, and mastered the EP. It has warm, analog sounds and personal, heartfelt performances. Ethan says his songs are "architectural," and it's easy to see why. Each song feels like it was carefully put together, with vivid images, delicate emotions, and melodies that stay with you long after the last note fades.
The EP begins with "Melody," a lovely, warm acoustic song about longing and connection. It's a favorite for its soft vocals and careful phrasing, which gently pull listeners into Ethan's world. The music is great because it's simple, and it lets the feelings come through. Next is "Yesterday's Dress," which has a soft folk-rock feel that builds from soft guitar and piano to a big, emotional peak. It's the most movie-like part of the EP, and it shows that Ethan can go from smooth to strong feelings without losing who he is. "3rd Floor" is another excellent song from the collection that lifts the mood. The song's bright, youthful, and thoughtful sound suggests that Ethan is viewing life from a unique perspective. The EP's hopeful tone adds a new layer to its introspective themes.
The last song on the project is "On Either Side," which brings everything together with clarity and acceptance. This EP is only 15 minutes long, but it has a lot of emotional power. Ethan Pacheco's song "On Either Side" shows that he's making sound pictures of the moments that shape us. This is a must-listen for fans of indie, folk, and new singer-songwriters who want to get their name out there.
