The Way Out Of Here’s "I’ll Be Away": A Soulful Dive into Longing and Resilience

London-based musician Pablo Amador, known for his vibrant contributions to bands like Young Fatigue and Bastie, has embarked on a fresh chapter with his solo project, The Way Out Of Here. His debut single, "I’ll Be Away," is a raw and evocative piece that melds soulful rock with introspective lyricism. Drawing inspiration from legends like John Mayer and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Amador crafts a sound that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.

Initially penned during the pandemic, "I’ll Be Away" channels the emotional complexities of mental health struggles and the strain of long-distance relationships. These themes resonate throughout the track, both lyrically and musically, with a balance of vulnerability and grit. This is not just another rock song; it’s an anthem for those grappling with distance, both physical and emotional while striving to stay grounded.

Amador’s signature style is evident in every note of "I’ll Be Away." Recorded at Zig Zag Studios in Woolwich, London, the track features layered instrumentation, all performed by Pablo himself (except synths by producer Ula Wodarz). His deft guitar work shines, with a lengthy, soul-stirring outro solo that echoes the influences of John Frusciante. This instrumental exploration elevates the song, creating a space where emotion and technical prowess coexist harmoniously.

The track’s production, led by Santiago Abad’s mixing and mastering, is impeccable. Each element from the gritty guitar riffs to the subtle synth underpinnings finds its place, resulting in a polished yet emotionally raw soundscape.

“I’ll Be Away” excels not only in its technical execution but also in its storytelling. The catchy hook invites listeners into a narrative of longing, resilience, and self-reflection. The soulful "dirty rock" vibe gives the track an edge, making it as introspective as it is invigorating.

Originally from Mexico City, Amador’s journey from a young drummer to a multifaceted musician is as compelling as his music. His studies at the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles and the ICMP in London have shaped his versatile artistry. Beyond his solo project, Amador remains a vital part of London’s music scene, lending his talents to an array of genres from pop rock to progressive rock.

"I’ll Be Away" is not just a standalone single; it’s the opening act of a new era for The Way Out Of Here. With a math-rock-inspired EP in the works, Pablo Amador is set to push boundaries and further establish his unique sound.
