Hello, this is my latest single for my indie pop/folk, singer/songwriter, and neo mellow project.  The song features simple rock leads with driven acoustic guitar and a layered melodic chorus.  It's an upbeat song about "heartbreak," having unrealistic expectations, being unskilled at love, and being a fool.

I developed this in my home studio while trying to blend rock-pop elements with layered synths with vocal harmonies.  Inspired by Indie bands such as The Shins, Vampire Weekend, and singer-songwriters such as Damien Rice, The Swell Season, and many others.

Chord Fiction is an indie-folk project that stems from the mind and heart of David Salazar, a singer/songwriter in the SF bay area. 

The music he creates in his new act echoes the soft and understated melodies of artists the likes of Glen Hansard, Jack Johnson, or Damien Rice. Still, it also feels as forward-thinking as indie-folk heroes the likes of The Shins, Wilco, or Calexico.

Chord Fiction sets out to create a mellow, organic, and soothing set of sonic landscapes, with every song relying on David Salazar's earnest vocals and gentle acoustic/electric guitar lines.  

Chord Fiction's upcoming EP features the on-point and often understated roots-inspired lead guitar from David Tom, and the track "Life is a just a Sea" also features the exceptional vocal talent of Emma Varley.
