Chicago-based duo j. pastel combines 80s synths and ethereal guitars with captivating pop songwriting. Their musical journey began in the summer of 2019, when Chase Durrett and Casey Bruce discovered their shared passion for leaving an indelible imprint on the music scene. With two EPs that garnered enthusiastic responses, they are now poised to unveil their highly anticipated debut album in 2023.
“Feel the Same” serves as the second single from j. pastel‘s forthcoming EP, delving into the poignant query: Will the depths of vulnerability and honesty elicit reciprocation? The song encapsulates this emotional odyssey, likening the anticipation of their response to the electrifying dance of lightning and thunder, where the allure between two souls becomes irresistible, akin to a moth mesmerized by a flickering flame.
Drenched in modernity, “Feel the Same” is also structured like a regular indie-pop song, where the dynamic synth dictates and accentuates the track’s pace and the hypnotic-like feeling of the vocals invokes a romantic, almost platonic urgency. It is a song about a specific feeling, encapsulating that same feeling in it. You got to try it!
