This edition of LITM Rock Picks is all about the dark moods, making you feel like you’re a lone walker on the streets of your city after the stars have come out and remain your only companion in the hour. The list features artists Medivh, Mercy Kelly, and The Trusted.
Medivh - Fires Of The Blue Moon
A beautiful layering of the rock sound with electronic elements, ‘Fires Of The Blue Moon’ by Medivh is sure to capture your attention completely. The song starts out soft and gradually builds, reaching its crescendo at 1:49 minutes after a quiet section that acts as a bridge between the first half and the second. The song has a sombre, mellow tone to it, making you imagine dark skies and rain carrying winds, while you walk with thoughts in your head, thoughts that you tried avoiding for too long. Musically heavy, emotionally resonant, this song has in it everything that is required for a track to top the charts.
Mercy Kelly - Speak Too Soon
Layered acoustic and electric guitars starting off the song gentle and slow, Mercy Kelly’s ‘Speak Too Soon’ will wrap your heart in its warmth right from the first note. The song has a very 2000s sound to it. Cinematic and grand, the song feels like it could fit in a musical perfectly. Kelly’s vocals are emotive and full of depth, doing complete justice to the song’s vulnerability. You might think of Snow Patrol’s music from the 2000s upon hearing this song, because of the similar air of cinematic elements they both evoke. Rhythmically warming and nostalgically sound, this track is sure to have you coming back to it.
The Trusted - Yellowhammer
Starting off with a sound that is sure to hook itself onto your mind, ‘Yellowhammer’ by The Trusted is where alt-rock meets punk, and meets in a way that will leave behind a solid impact. Infectiously catchy, the song has a mood that leans strongly towards a kind of thrill that makes you think you could do just about anything. The dusty vocals add heavily to the overall dark personality of the song. The catchy violin riff that makes the base of the song and gives it its very unique song ensures that the song remains unforgettable. The solo section at 3:06 minutes gives the song an end that’s fitting of the track’s immersive sound.
