Deconstructing "Influencer" by Film School by KEXP published on 2019-06-20T21:24:06Z The song "Influencer" by Film School has been a big favorite on the Morning Show and so producer Owen Murphy hopped onto Skype with the band's singer Greg Bertens in Los Angeles and he was kind enough to let us deconstruct the song. But of all the songs one could choose to unpack, why this one? ...well if you were to passively listen to this song, it would seem like a very mellow pop song. And in some ways it is. But it’s way more than that. Besides a very catchy, yet subtle vocal melody, on top what seems like a simple foundation of music, it is actually a very complicated arrangement. There are layers upon layers of sound, with dynamic changes in the arrangement happening in multiple places. So here's Greg Bertens of Film School who started by introducing the band's line-up.
