BØRNS, Interscope's newest talent, has released his first track, "10,000 Emerald Pools"—a genre-mashing work that simply hits all the right notes. We note that the Los Angeles-based artist has already scored a number of gigs (including a spot in CMJ's upcoming Music Marathon later this month), and here with "10,000 Emerald Pools", we see a satisfying blend of indie-pop and rock. "10,000" takes no time to get into with its main tune beginning at the track's onset, and it continues to cultivate until its guitar and drum-including choral peak. With that, you may anticipate hearing a strictly rock and roll type track, but BØRNS' pacifying vocals keep us tranquil, and subtle electronic synths serve to burst the bubble of any locked-in genre. The work we see here is meritorious—especially given our knack for genre-traversing artists who curate their own style—so be sure to the track a play, as we can assure you that it won't fall short of any expectations you may have.
