Middle Part’s Garage Pop Banger “Busy”

Brooklyn-based garage alt pop singer Middle Part has unleashed his third single this year. Entitled “Busy”, the song is equally nostalgic as it is fresh. With colorful synths, distorted vocals and clashing guitars, “Busy” is unpolished indie pop at its finest. In “Busy”, Middle Part explores the pitfalls of friendship and explains to the listener how important it is to be present and vulnerable in relationships. He confides, Selkōw confides, “A lot of this record is about ego, vulnerability, and dealing with loss. It’s also about finding a balance with your mental well being. Busy touches on that theme of letting go of your ego and being more vulnerable with the people around you. That’s the message I’m trying to get across, and I feel that ties in with the EP’s title, which is all about being more present rather than mentally checked out.”

The single is off of Middle Part’s debut EP set for release later this month. Entitled I Wish I Was Alive, the six-track collection of songs is a heart on the sleeve exploration of the singer’s life. From battling mental illness, destructive relationships (even the one with his own ego), Middle Part delves into existential themes normally not detailed in popular music and we are thankful for that!
