Los Angeles-based duo Good Rzn is formed by vocalist and songwriter Josie Molasky and guitarist and producer Tommy Ghirardini, who’ve been steadily making waves since their debut in 2021 with the single “Sleep Talking.” Their growing discography showcases their highly original sound and has earned them the privilege of performing at various venues, while winning over fans around the world.
The essence of Good Rzn’s distinctive style lies in bold guitar licks, striking lyrics and a genuine passion for multi-instrumentalism, perfectly captured on their latest single “Far From Me,” the second single from their upcoming debut EP titled Falling In Slow Motion. This track reveals their penchant for innovation, blending alternative rock elements with an eclectic mix of organic and synthetic sounds. It’s a compelling fusion that includes gritty guitar riffs, ethereal synth tones, punchy drum patterns and reflective lyrics that invite you to embark on an emotional journey.
The song unfolds with an air of mystery, enveloping the listener in a dark, guitar-laden atmosphere. As the beat kicks in with snapping precision, Josie’s smooth vocals rise above the musical landscape, setting the mood for a moody alternative pop experience. However, it’s in the chorus where “Far From Me” truly takes flight. The beat intensifies, and the guitars surge with a raw, rock-driven energy. Josie’s vocals exude a sense of stuttered intensity, crafting an anthemic soundscape enriched by unforgettable melodies and polished production.
What stands out about the vocals is their psychedelic rock influence, layered with an electronic touch that adds a glistening texture reminiscent of artists like Poliça. This amalgamation of styles showcases the duo’s dedication to sonic experimentation, resulting in a distinct crossroads between alternative rock, indie electronic and psychedelic pop.
Lyrically, “Far From Me” thematically covers the emotional turmoil of being separated from someone or something you hold dear. It captures the essence of that bittersweet period of absence, where the complexities of longing and personal growth intermingle. These sentiments are vividly brought to life through Josie’s compelling vocal delivery and the song’s evocative instrumentation.
Commenting on the single, they share, “Far From Me was one of the first songs that we wrote as Good Rzn in 2021 with our friend John. We rented a house in Palm Springs and set up a studio for a few days. One of our intentions going in was to bring the rock sound that we were inspired by our whole lives into a more electronic space. The track ultimately took about 2 years to fully develop and it’s one of the songs we’re most excited about on the EP. The lyrics address themes of being away from someone close to you or something you love, and the ensuing growth and strife that occurs in that setting.”
