DEPRESNO EMOTIONAL PUNCHING BAG

Norwegian artist dePresno has dropped his best single yet in ‘Emotional Punching Bag’. It’s a beautiful track that shows off his distinctive, deep voice over simple acoustic guitar chords and ethereal synth textures. It’s a searingly vulnerable, honest song that delves into his own feelings of responsibility to be there for people that need him most. “It’s really hard when people you love go through rough patches and you kind of just have to sit back and watch it unfold and you do what you can to make it easier but at the end of the day, it’s never your responsibility you not necessarily anything you really can do, so this song is just my way of being there for the people in my life I suppose.” Keep an eye out for more from dePresno over the course of 2023. -Dan Peeke
