There are people and memories that we cherish anywhere we go. There are snapshots of our lives that stay with us in some shape regardless of the path we choose. All of these fuzzy recollections have a soundtrack that scores the scene, and someone like Kaptan knows how to keep the moment together through a golden light. His self-described genre is “Shimmery Indie-Pop”, and while that works on the surface, it barely does his songs justice. The songs are personal Rorschach tests: depending on how you hear them, each lyric takes the shape relative to the listener. Some songs contain outright joy, and it’s sublime in tracks like “Anywhere We Go” and “Jump”, and there are also existential pulls in “Numbers” and “Let Go”. He’s also been heard everywhere from Chevy commercials to McDonald’s ads in the 2016 Summer Olympics, which is a testament to the relatability and straight-up catchiness of all of his releases. Nostalgia plays such a large role in our lives, and in Kaptan’s world, he keeps it safe while also helping us push toward the future.
