“If you could have anyone, would you stay here with me?” wonders Jorge Elbrecht in the opening lines to “Don’t End Up Alone.” The singer of Brooklyn art-pop trio Violens, Elbrecht turns back to that band’s earlier material–more guitar-driven than synth-laden–to create this elegant meditation on abandonment. It’s the first release from Presentable Corpse, Elbrecht’s new project, which he calls “music created from the perspective of a deceased songwriter.” Even so, Elbrecht’s unique voice sounds incredibly alive.
“Don’t End Up Alone” is the A-side to a limited 7-inch, available on A Grey Market records.
