PTK Lothbrook makes a glimpse into emotional Terrain with debut single “Sell The Land”

PTK Lothbrook drops the long awaiting debut single, “Sell The Land.” Cut through the bullshit with the raw, haunting authenticity and aiming to set a footprint in the industry with his lyrical abilities. “Sell The Land” transcends the song itself, a beautifully melancholy window into an emotional undercurrent many experience but few know how to give words to.

His debut official release, “Sell The Land,” not only introduces PTK as singer-songwriter, but as a storyteller, unabashed to expose the bare soul behind the sound. Sure, that title can bring to mind economic desperation or political statements, but “selling the land” is a metaphor: It is about letting go of what had once been sanctified. It is an expression of his reckoning with the way she sees him.

Backed by a moody production that embraces a stripped-down palette, PTK’s voice is front and center, piercing and completely unvarnished. There’s a fatigue in his voice that draws you in, as if every word comes with a price to sing it. This music is meant to haunt you long after the last note has evaporated.

There is a complex intermixture of antique and modern throughout the work. It opens with the vigour of a r&b/soul lament and carries the creepy tension of rap. If this is just the start for PTK Lothbrook, then expect her discography to be steeped in introspection, edge and emotional bravery.

“Sell the Land” doesn’t just ask for your attention, it quietly demands it. In less than four minutes, PTK Lothbrook proves that she’s an artist to look out for, but more importantly, one to listen to.
