The trio, Grace Freeman (of Gal Musette), Taylor Sackson, and Daisy Abrams, arrive not with a boom, but with a murmured request. “Couch Song” never raises its hand for your attention; it simply earns it, as lush vocal harmonies and hushed, folksy acoustic guitar that feels shades of Joni Mitchell at her most intimate embrace listeners. Filmed in one-take at a live session, the performance feels more like a recording, not gonzo, than discovering a candle-lit, quiet living room jam you never want to end.
It’s the sort of song that blooms slowly and sweetly, featuring lyrics that deal with friendship not in a corporate, commercial way, but in the tiny, soul-binding instances that mark genuine connection. You can hear the camaraderie between Freeman, Sackson, and Abrams in almost every breath and every phrase. The harmonies are not just well-matched, but they are deeply felt, imbued with the sort of emotional honesty that only shared experience and real chemistry can impart.
What makes “Couch Song” remarkable has nothing to do with production flash or lyrical complexity, but heart. It stays the way the brewed-tea scent will hang in the air on a rainy day, or as the laughter from shared rooms lingers when you’ve walked into somewhere you once loved. It’s a reminder of the strength in vulnerability, and that sometimes the most straightforward songs pierce the hardest.
For those familiar with Grace Freeman’s work as Gal Musette, this new project appears to be a logical step, more collaborative, grounded, and infused with new creative energy. A quiet confidence in Tin Angel’s debut, suggesting this is just the beginning of something quite special. “Couch Song” is available now, and it’s not just a song to hear but one to feel. So find a quiet corner, mash play, and let Tin Angel show you what can come of three voices singing as one for one purpose: to tell the truth, beautifully.
