Jeri Silverman - 'Come Undone'
South African born singer-songwriter Jeri Silverman explores the darker sides of human consciousness on visceral indie folk song, ‘Come Undone’.
All kinds of awesomeness here from Jeri Silverman’s ‘Come Undone’, a scintillating cut of indie folk that pairs shadowy atmospheric guitar tones with weighty electronics textures to create a turbulent undercurrent for Silverman to pour her truths into. Silverman’s effortlessly likeable vocal introduces itself hushed and soothing as she matter of factly confesses, “the things I do in my mind might make you like me a little less, the places I go in my head might take me somewhere I won’t confess”.
Through ‘Come Undone’ Silverman shines light on the more damaged, difficult sides of being human with a softness that is achingly honest yet fiercely unapologetic. There’s no shame here, no want for sympathy, no self pity, just sobering self-reflection that ultimately doesn’t dwell on feelings of despair.
Where the song has a mesmerising starkness to it, Silverman also mixes things up, falling in and out of throbbing, percussive-laden dynamics embracing an uplifting catharisis in its rich, evocative layers and thrilling driving rhythms, exuding an infectious energy that really stays with you after the song has stopped playing.
