Captivatingly calm vocals sail along synth waters when listening to “Hero,” which opens Life Raft, the new EP from Jesse Magenta, a.k.a. Charlie Catacalos. Thoughtfully peaceful while adrift, there’s an introspective tranquility at play. A brisk, wind-in-your-face spaciousness elicits movement, while expressing vulnerability. This is a musical vehicle that you should grab a hold of.
