Based in Chattanooga in Tennessee, Jason Lyles is an exciting artist whose sonic explorations intertwine with inspirations from the stars. With over two decades of experience in the industry, he’s been crafting an impressive catalogue of music that’s struck a chord with fans around the world.
Since his debut album Shades Of Grey back in 2002, Jason’s continued to share his music via a steady stream of singles, EPs, and full-length records. Each release adds a new piece to the puzzle of his sonic universe, showcasing his versatility and songwriting talent.
Following the success of his last LP, Tandem, in 2022, this year he’s been riding a wave of creativity, releasing a string of well-received singles already. Now he brings us his latest release with the brand new single titled “Salvage,” a song inspired by the opening sequence of the 1986 film Aliens and released in celebration of Alien Day 2024.
With its fusion of space rock, 80s pop and indie rock, “Salvage” delivers a cinematic soundtrack worthy of a deep space expedition. Brought in by the soft strums of acoustic guitar as spacey voice transmissions float through the arrangement of gentle drum taps and vibrating key tones.
Jason’s voice spins airy lines that usher in the full sound of grooving guitar rhythms and striking drums before the song’s lift off occurs with a dazzling chorus of lush backing voices, memorable vocal leads and jangly guitar tones, resulting in an enthralling sound that transports you on the cosmic voyage alongside Jason. Peppered with memorable vocal hooks and lifted by bright layers of backing voices, all wrapped up in an epic indie rock sound that reaches an invigorating guitar solo, “Salvage” is another delightful song that captures the very best of Jason Lyles’ interstellar-inspired musical vision.
Commenting on the inspiration behind the song, Jason shares, “I wanted to write a song about my all-time favourite movie to celebrate with the other Alien franchise fans around the world on Alien Day.” Paired with the single is the visually gripping lyric video created by Tyler Green of Kaiser Bay Productions which perfectly captures the context the song with footage from the iconic Aliens film.
