Guitar-led project Subsolar returns with “Here And Now”, a spacious, reflective single that deepens the emotional world first introduced on “Komorebi”. Drawing inspiration from quietly powerful moments in film, the track leans further into a cinematic palette, pairing soft vocals with layered textures that gradually swell into expansive guitar passages. Lyrically, the song sits in a fragile in-between space, acknowledging difficult change while holding it at arm’s length, grounded in solitude, restraint, and unresolved feeling.
“I was caught between wanting to be present in my relationship and needing to pull away entirely,” explains songwriter Joe Grange, reflecting on grief, distance, and emotional uncertainty following the loss of his father. The repeated refrain “Here And Now” acts as a quiet anchor amid that conflict, balancing introspection with subtle hope. Recorded at Magic Garden Studios and produced by Gavin Monaghan and Liam Radburn, the song captures a moment of pause rather than resolution, offering a gentle, immersive meditation on learning how to sit with what hurts before understanding how to move forward.
