20 Days Apart is the dangerously addictive track submitted to the Richer Unsigned chart this month by The Reckostacks.
The plucking of a lone acoustic guitar provides a minimalistic start to the song and simultaneously hints at the simplicity of the rest of the track. The combination of the acoustic guitar and synthesised melody creates a freshness that complements the effortless feel of the song.

The purity of the vocals makes for a truly captivating listening experience: the rawness and texture to his voice is refreshing and encapsulates the distinctive mood of the track.
As the song develops, the truthfulness of the lyrics enchants the listener further. 20 Days Apart is a love song, but from a less traditional mould… The Reckostacks don’t romanticise the idea. In fact, they iterate the struggle of the hopelessly optimistic and lovesick.
The enthusing climax of the song is reached with the combination of a silky smooth piece from an electric guitar and powerful vocals.
