Dom Moore dives headfirst into emerging from the shadows for the first time in his debut single, “Parachute,” and floats straight to the center of Indie Pop fans’ hearts. Released as the first track from his forthcoming EP “In & Out of Lines,” the song is a compelling introduction to an artist who knows how to mix emotional weight with that irresistible energy.
Written, recorded, and produced entirely on Moore’s own tard, in his spare bedroom over 2024, “Parachute” is Moore’s tendency to turn introspection into art. It has the intimacy of a bedroom project, but its polish and ambition imply something far greater. This is a song trying to connect.
Moore’s early love for music comes through in the score. He’s been playing piano and guitar since he was 4 years old and has musical maturity. The song’s alt-rock-infused guitar tones juxtapose nicely against lush pop melodies, creating a dynamic back-and-forth that demands your attention. The grandiose chorus is the kicker, a shimmering, full-throated peak that will boost your spirits like the track title would have you believe.
“Parachute” is distinguished by its emotional honesty. It’s not a headlong, high-speed freefall into love but the quiet marvel of sinking into something serious, slowly and gratefully. Though never heavy-handed, the lyrics tell a metaphorical story about balance, openness, and release. It’s a feeling that fluctuates with the introspective hours of dawn and the contemplative fog of twilight.
In purely structural terms, Moore flatters his narrative instincts. The song starts with a riff and is there when we need it to be like musical bookends. It’s a neat, considered approach that reflects the emotional journey inside.
With “Parachute,” Dom Moore slides into place easily, marking the beginning of a genre-bending project that’s off to a killer start. Indie-pop lovers seeking enlivening and emotionally fulfilling music will want to keep an ear out for what is next. If this debut is anything to go by, Moore’s “In & Out of Lines” EP will be one gorgeous, unpredictable spin.
