Brian Wight’s “Obscurity!!!” Deserves Your Full Volume Attention

Sometimes a song drops, quietly at first—no big rollout, no hype machine—just there. Waiting. And then you hit play, and within seconds you’re thinking: How did this not blow up the second it dropped?

That’s exactly the case with Brian Wight’s 2024 sleeper single “Obscurity!!!” A track that might have slipped under the radar when it first landed, but trust us—it’s time to circle back. Because this one? It’s a full-blown gem.

“Obscurity!!!” is a sonic curveball in all the right ways. A genre-defiant blend of soft rock textures and alternative electric edges, it refuses to sit still or be pinned down. It’s got that indie heart, a soft-focus nostalgia, and just enough bite to keep you wide awake.

What makes it shine is how unorthodox it is—nothing about this track plays by the rules. The structure wanders where it wants. The melodies feel pulled from a daydream. There’s groove, sure—tons of it—but it’s never trying too hard. It’s cool without being detached, catchy without being obvious. That’s a tough trick to pull off, and Wight nails it.

For those unfamiliar, Brian Wight has been behind the curtain for a minute now. A Colorado native turned Nashville powerhouse, he’s spent years as the secret sauce for artists like Judah & The Lion, The Night Game, Penny and Sparrow, and Chris Renzema. But in 2025, Wight officially stepped out from the shadows—and did it loud, selling out his first-ever headline show at Nashville’s legendary Exit/In.

Let that sink in: one debut show, and already a touring demand that’s outpacing most seasoned acts. And when you listen to “Obscurity!!!,” it’s obvious why.

This isn’t just a cool song from an emerging artist. It’s the kind of track you stumble on late at night and immediately want to send to three friends with the text: “You need to hear this.” It’s layered and alive, both lyrically and sonically—a little melancholic, a little euphoric, and completely unforgettable.

And sure, “Obscurity!!!” may have dropped in 2024. But with the way Wight is rising right now? Consider this your sign to dig it up, press play, and experience it with fresh ears.

Because if Brian Wight started in the background, he’s definitely not staying there. And this track is the moment we should all be paying attention to.
