There’s something quietly confident about “Would You,” the new original single from The Burton D’Agostini Procedure. The Grand Rapids duo of Jeff Burton and John D’Agostini have been making music together since their college days, and that long-standing chemistry shows. You can hear it in the way the song unfolds; patient, detailed, and unafraid to let melodies breathe. Having previously shared stages with bands like Tonic and The Verve Pipe, they bring a seasoned understanding of dynamics and audience connection to this release.
Recorded at Lost Chord Studios near Grand Rapids, “Would You” feels intentionally crafted for listeners who appreciate depth and texture. There’s a clear nod to the expansive atmospheres of Pink Floyd, blended with flashes of the colorful, synth-leaning edge associated with MGMT. Yet the track never slips into imitation. Instead, it filters those influences through the duo’s own lens, resulting in a sound that feels both familiar and personal.
What stands out most is the production. The arrangement is layered without being cluttered, giving each instrument room to resonate. Subtle shifts in tone and texture reward careful listening, especially through headphones, where the stereo spread truly comes alive. The melodies are thoughtfully shaped, and the chorus carries an understated emotional weight that lingers after the final note.
At its core, “Would You” is about connection—between bandmates, between past and present influences, and ultimately between the music and the listener. It’s a reminder that songs don’t need excess to leave an impact. Sometimes, careful craftsmanship and genuine musical conversation are more than enough.
