Listen: How We Wanted - Logan Prescott

Logan Prescott is a Dallas-based indie pop artist, and How We Wanted has one of those hooks that you just can’t help but want to dance to.

Drawing on 80s influences but with a thoroughly modern layer of sheen, the track combines reverb-soaked percussion, muted guitars and soft synths to make a wistful track about yearning for something better. It’s the feeling of looking back at yesterday’s hopes for today. In the current climate, that feels more relevant than ever - and the song’s title in the chorus almost feels like both a knowing wink and a huge understatement... “It’s not quite how we wanted it”, sings Prescott.

Dallas-based Indie Pop artist Logan Prescott returns with his 80’s vibes in “How We Wanted” after being selected as Editor’s Pick on music blog IndieShuffle. In times of quarantine and isolation, “How We Wanted” yearns for better days and resolves to its frank reality with the help of plucky guitars and dreamy synths, while being swept up in the “what ifs” of vocoders and poppy melodies. Look for Logan this summer on the front page of Splice for his game-changing Modern Pop Vocals sample pack.
