Blair Coyle’s Amiss is an emotionally potent alt-folk rock ballad that strikes a balance between intimacy and grandeur. Anchored by his deep baritone vocals, the track weaves acoustic and slide guitars with ambient textures and rich brass, creating a sound both introspective and expansive. Lyrically, it’s a raw exploration of waking up to oppressive systems, grappling with frustration and isolation as the veil lifts. At its heart, Amiss is a bittersweet anthem of liberation—painful yet empowering, marking a step toward reclaiming truth and freedom in the face of loss.
Listening to this gem, the first thing that comes to mind is the brilliance of American Music Club—always loved them, and now I love this.
