Singer/songwriter Michael Berginc performs as Reliable Child, and recently released an EP under the moniker.
Some Blue Imagination II contains four tracks that range from polished pop-rock to acoustic balladry to Mazzy Star covers. “Twenty One” is one of the ballads; it’s built around gently swaying guitar chords, droplets of piano, and swishing drums, and sees Berginc sing longingly about times past, “watching headlights pass us by/let the tears softly fall from your eyes.” The artist describes the track, recorded with the help of Armbrust’s Dan Blake Production, as one that “explores nostalgia through the faded lens of time,” and the bittersweetness certainly comes through loud and clear, or perhaps I should say soft and hazy.
