dilip “Lemon Tart”

Sweetness and sourness of the love and loss is an unraveling tale of its own on dilip’s “Lemon Tart.” Nostalgia is sensuous. From one sense to another, memories fly back in, but the thoughts keep on expanding — that seems to be the impressions of “Lemon Tart,” a taste-triggered remembrance of a past love already settled in the dust.

Dilip’s smooth vocal is coiled in the shimmering indie guitarscape as the broadness of the atmosphere gradually takes over control. Emotions are running high in “Lemon Tart,” unraveling into a storming mood-filled catharsis that takes your breath away. It’s worth mentioning how high aesthetic dilip’s music is as well as his ability to capture the subtle mood change with sensitivity.

Like an organic thought process or a stimulating conversation, “Lemon Tart” never stops its footstep. It moves from the lighthearted impressionistic nostalgia to a full exploration of the complex feelings and thoughts. One thing that seems really interesting about the track is how it challenges the traditional song form.

Located around 2 minute, the track takes a brief breath, dipping into a condensed vacancy, like finding yourself slow dancing in a past time, but before you could fully immerse in the lost time, you’re out and back. The emotions reach climax before it drifts away, being turned off abruptly, marking the end of the song and the end of this nostalgia.
