“How You Love Someone” by Pynch – A Song Feature

 

     While staying true to its core identity, “How You Love Someone” ventures into various sonic territories, most notably during its final 100 seconds. At 3:13, Pynch steer the single into an instrumental bridge, led by quick-tempo, lo-fi guitar. The aggressive bridge then seamlessly morphs into pulsating synth beneath distant, reverb-soaked vocals reflecting on a relationship that has run its course, but “ the world keeps turning anyway.” Then, the outro layers a more melodic synth against the pulse, before the track slips away with a Max Headroom-esque stutter effect.
 
     The final stretch of “How You Love Someone” reveals the creative spark of Pynch, though its charm is woven throughout, not confined to those last 100 seconds. The song opens with commanding drums, soon joined by jangly guitar, and by the time the vocals emerge, the track stands fully formed as an engaging triumph. When talking about their song, Pynch explained:
  “We wanted to continue the album campaign with 'How You Love Someone' because it shows a more vulnerable side of the band - a dissection of modern love, built on lo-fi guitars and new wave synths. It’s one of the most personal songs we've ever written, about the breakdown of an important relationship that ultimately couldn’t work, no matter how hard we tried. Produced and mixed in our home studio, this track represents a more cinematic and introspective side of our sound, building slowly but intentionally into a layered, heart-tugging outro.”
 
      The song will be on the album “Beautiful Noise,” which is scheduled for release on Friday October 3 on Chillburn Recordings. According to their Bandcamp page, the musical makeup for “How You Love Someone” comprised brothers Spencer Enock (vocals, guitar, synth) and Scott Enock (bass), along with Julianna Hopkins (drums, synth). James Rees also contributed synth to the single, however, Myles Gammon is the new member of London-based Pynch. The band says that “’Beautiful Noise’ is a document of a band unafraid to be vulnerable, ask questions, and create something messy, human, and quietly transcendent.”
