Minnesota musician Quare takes a long look in the mirror on new single “You did everything”, and it packs a cathedral-sized indie-folk wallop to the heart. Reminiscent of music from artists like Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes, the track is an extended emotional exorcism, a reclamation of self, an attempt to reconcile all the complicated aspects of ourselves into a coherent truth. It’s a longform statement not concerned with irrelevancies, wearing its ambitions proudly and aiming for low orbit. The song presents itself as rollicking folk-rock with some detours into darker and more labyrinthine corridors. Quare has created something truly distinct, something that roars into the darkness, resilient but aware of its own flaws. It all builds up to that great extended scream at the end, a casting out of demons and an acknowledgement that a single voice can be heard above the noise of the world if you just know what to say.
