Based in Munich, accomplished musician René Arbeithuber has recently ventured out as a solo artist under the moniker A Certain Someone. Already recognised for his contributions to bands like Slut and Pelzig, he’s decided to embark on a solo adventure into the unexplored spheres of his own sonic vision.
With fifteen successful album productions under his belt, René is ready to unveil his solo project, drawing inspiration from an eclectic mix of genres and legendary artists such as Slowdive, Ride, The Sundays, Interpol, PJ Harvey and Depeche Mode. The result is a unique fusion of indie shoegaze and 80s dream pop, tinged by his diverse musical history that spans rockabilly and hip hop.
Now unveiling the A Certain Someone project to the world, he brings us his debut solo single with the track titled “Pathetic Fallacy.” Distilling his penchant for indie pop and filtering it through his shoegaze-inspired sonic lens, with “Pathetic Fallacy,” he serves up an expansive run through of his unique sonic vision as a solo artist.
Opened by the crunch of guitar chords riding the strike of drums, pulsing bass guitar lines enter to drive the energy as light guitar leads drape over the arrangement. Building the energy with rattling sonic textures and airy guitar plucks, “Pathetic Fallacy” crafts an immersive post rock landscape which dies down to make way for René’s soft vocal leads to float through the scene.
Threading smooth melodies via elegant delivery, he creates an enveloping sound that pulls you in and guides you through an entirely new sonic world. The song recounts the story of a misunderstood woman grappling with severe personal hardships. Unable to cope with her pain, she navigates the world with a demeanour that may seem mean to those around her. This portrayal covers the complex nature of her character and intricacies of her story.
Full of atmosphere and subtly anthemic energy, “Pathetic Fallacy” sees A Certain Someone make a compelling artistic entrance with a sensational debut single. As he continues to develop the musical universe of A Certain Someone, René Arbeithuber is sure to go from strength to strength as he leverages his rich musical experience to craft an exciting and worthwhile new project.
