Freya Magee – Over There
Freya Magee finds a language with a soft pop/ alt rock blend in her latest track, ‘Over There’. With lyrical vocals and a storytelling style, she overlays a soft and confessional plane with mellow rock instrumentals. The riffs are translucent and buoyant, only just exploring and building the thematic space; nothing beyond that. Freya’s voice has a way of carrying simplicity and complexity authentically. That skill especially shines in this track. As the song progressively deepens and becomes embedded in the rock instrumentals, the complexity is really drawn out and spectacularly carried. It is raw, personal, and so evocative.
Verticoli – Sleep
Verticoli’s ‘Sleep’ is a contemplative, surreal, post rock track. It is made with dazing textures and numbing colors. Made with long streaming melodies, soft beat flows, mellow psychedelics, and sedating tones, the song draws you into itself. You feel the contours of reality melt away as it folds the listener into its spaces. The chromatism, the melodic chemistry and the vocal harmony with the instrumentals; it all feels new age, novel, and fresh. The lyrics have a confessional touch to them, a vulnerable quality that deepens the listening experience, makes it suitable to experience a theme that is as intimate as sleep.
