2. The Music of Sound - When You’re Near
When You’re Near by The Music of Sound is a dreamy exploration characterised by its ethereal production and heartfelt lyrics. The track blends soft electronic elements with acoustic undertones, creating a delicate yet impactful listening experience.
The vocals on the song are slick and emotive, with fullness and yearning that's sweet to hear and absolutely well-suited for the thick textures of the instrumental parts. There's not a lot of arrangement, so that every element takes center stage alone, and as a whole the song is at once intimate and immersive. It's a beautiful tribute to human intimacy, and one that will move profoundly those who listen.
3. machineGardenSoulz - Nothing is Known
machineGardenSoulz' album, Nothing is Known, is an exquisite introspective album of life's unreached goals and unknowns. The album title song is the flag bearer of this story, with introspective verses and complex melodies on a delicate border of despair and hope.
The track begins with an austere ghostly intro which slowly builds to waves of keyboards, guitars, and percussion drowning out the listener. Anastas' vocals are raw and husky, shouting out lyrics which sound like ripped-out diary entries. Kateryna's harmonies are the depth of the song, rich interplay between the two females which adds emotional depth to the song.
Following in the footsteps of the duo's history of migration and assimilation, Nothing is Known is an achievement of weakness and strength, something one who has lived to see change will understand. Their incorporation of bleeding-edge AI technology into production only adds to the introspective indie sound, lending it an electrifyingly new flavor, and the song being hip both as an album release and first single for machineGardenSoulz.
