I’m Rob. I’m an independent, indie artist writing and recording music in my home studio. My music is a blend of alternative, rock, folk & pop. I started this channel to share my original music. I spent several years away from music and finally have the time I wanted to devote to this channel. Al...

If I have the time, I sometimes listen to new releases blind; maybe from Release Radar or if my partner in crime - Whiskers - hits play. It really focusses the mind trying to quickly guess who the artist is. I am not particulartly good at it, maybe because we now follow nearly 400 artists who we didn’t know this time last year (or it could just be my advancing years). Anyway, Whiskers knew that this one would keep me guessing - initially…

“Tomorrow” introduces itself with a delightful organ motif and I quickly reflect on how I’ve loved the organ making a comeback in modern Indie music from country to rock and even pop. The motif is simple, the organ sweet and percussive, the rhythm hints at the musical sophistication to follow. Mostly though, the tonal ambiguity from the monophonic presentation leaves a thrilling sense of tension in the air. I am hooked already and want to hear more.

It isn’t until 8 seconds in that the arrival of a bass guitar line resolves the ambiguity and draws attention to the F # Minor tonic. And what a bass guitar line it is. Accompanied by some delicate cymbal work, that initial slide up to the root note and the addition of a cool melodic fill tells me this ain’t going to be a plodder; it’s going to be tuneful and considered. At approx 16 seconds, bar 9 bursts into life and things get seriously funky, like everything makes me want to move. A super fast guitar right hand fills in the drums and bass as the soundscape explodes with the presence of a super-tight musically talented band. The anticipation builds. At 24 seconds I still don’t know who is delivering this treat but at 25 seconds I confidently call out Regifter because only Nikola has that voice. One of the best male voices in the indie rock scene; dry but still rich, sweet but still dynamic. Maybe it’s the accent, I don’t know, but he is one of our absolute favourite singers ever. Whiskers smiles. She knew I was going to love this one…

And what a song this is! The changes remain resolutely diatonic, the chord progressions simple but there is Beatles level craftsmanship in using simple building blocks to create something so engaging, a melody so memorable - so “gotta have one more listen”. Maybe it’s that groove that remains relentlessly danceable. Maybe it’s the cool production touches - that whistle (I assume it’s a sample?) for example. It could be the structure; just catch that ascending crescendo in the chorus first heard at about 0:57. Whatever it is there is a detailed perfectionist at the helm here and the overall is an absolute delight. There’s always depth and more to discover in the details of everything that Regifter does.

Speaking of depth, what about those lyrics. The first mention of “dying” tomorrow throws me. I was actually shocked. Later it’s obvious that another kind of death is implied. It made me think immediately of the proper interpretation of the death card in Tarot, meaning profound change. I don’t know if that trick was put there intentionally but I leave you to bask in these lyrics and come to your own conclusions. Ultimately the song, to me, is about the need for personal change and the inertia coming from the all too concomitant procrastination. This song speaks to me on a personal level.

You might have guessed by now that we are huge Regifter fans. “Dear Muse” might have been our most played song of the year. It’s always a pleasure to hear a new song and, knowing just how much work must go into creating at this level, we can forgive that the catalog remains small for now. I hope that Nikola continues not to compromise and will deliver more songs like “Tomorrow” because we are smitten with “Tomorrow”, today. ❤️
