Rushil Sudrania goes by the artist name ‘Mixed Signals’, because (according to him), this solo project represents him following his emotional and creative instincts without being bound by a specific genre or sound. So, it would be pretty logical to expect each single he puts out to sound different from the last. His last, ‘Silence’ with ero808, was a sort of murky, nocturnal bit of electronic music that drew from EDM, maybe even a little modern hip-hop. This new song is called ‘Unavailable’ and is flat-out radio-friendly indie rock. So you can appreciate the range.
The song deserves a listen because it’s simple, short and sweet; all hallmarks of good writing. There’s nothing that stands out in particular, but the song is a pleasant listen. This is sometimes a good thing; there’s absolutely nothing wrong with finding a vibe and just enjoying it for what it is. Rushil finds a simple guitar part, cutesy production (nice bass sounds, especially), some hummable vocals, a relatable subject and a nice hook. That’s… about it, and there’s some added flavour in the form of a short guitar solo at the end. ’Unavailable’ isn’t the kind of song one needs to think about, or frankly, even read about. There’s a good chance it will seamlessly fit into into your commute or work day, and that’s good enough.
