"Trying To Learn," the new song from Edmonton-based Travis Bretzer, is a charming introduction to a songwriter that seems determined to make uncomplicated, classic-feeling pop melodies sound off-kilter. The 23-year-old incorporates toe-tapping acoustic guitarwork and no-bullshit lyrics like I've got my whole life ahead of me / this is my youth I feel so elderly, which are sung casually enough that they sound like fleeting anxieties rather than full-blown outcries of existential dread. "Trying To Learn" will appear on Bretzer's debut EP, Making Love, out July 23rd via Mexican Summer.
