GISKE – “Light Upon the Water”

GISKE’s “Light Upon the Water” needs your full attention, there’s no overthinking here, just chemistry that’s been marinating since the ’90s. You can hear how comfortable they are in the spaces between notes, like they’ve figured out how to leave the right things unsaid. And the vocals are impressive and easy to follow.

The track feels like it came out of real-life conversations, not endless studio takes. It’s the kind of song that sounds like it was written in a familiar room, with coffee cooling on the table and sure the track will stick in your head for days. The cover art nails the mood, it’s calm without being dull, reflective but not heavy-handed. The soft light scattered on water, framed by still branches, has the same quiet confidence the song carries. It’s a solid match, subtle but not forgettable.

If you’re into music that grows on you the more you sit with it, keep an eye on GISKE. Follow them on social media to stay up to date with new releases through the rest of 2025.
