Stroik is a North Carolina based musician who is currently preparing his debut EP called House of Manners, which is looking to be released this spring. In the meantime, feel free to acquaint yourself with Stroik via his song “In the Fresh.” It’s a bouncy piece of indie-pop that gets along swimmingly with an exceptionally likeable piano riff and a slick bass riff. Stroik’s friendly voice has it’s appeal, too, recalling Thomas Mars of Phoenix, but perhaps with an ounce more fragility, adding a wisp of darkness to the track. Have a listen to “In the Fresh” below.
