Pop-punk vocals and an organic pop-rock set-up meet with somewhat country-esque song-writing for this heartfelt, nostalgic new single from New York City’s The Night Years.
Pop Rock
Accessing the surreal nature of modern life, the past two years in particular, Moonflower acts as an artistic and softly thoughtful reaction to turmoil.
Depicting the tale of a lonely man calling upon an elusive lady of the night, STOP!! delves fearlessly into its concept and creates a smooth groove and catchy hook in the process.
Creatively explorative in sound-design yet comfortingly familiar in vocal clarity and melodic progression – Katie Tich’s Boomerang (Remix) introduces her uniquely colourful way with song-writing.
Reflecting on the past, the self, the world and one’s role within it – Freaky Man speaks volumes on behalf of the artistic intention and musicality of Walls Of Glass.
The opening strums lead you one way, the voice suddenly another, the lyrics another still, and then we get the structure – the changes, the evolution, the increasing sense of longing from the central protagonist.
The whole thing feels like a nineties rock hit ready and waiting to be rediscovered – Ocean Colour Scene, The Stone Roses, Goo Goo Dolls; the warmth and emotion, the organic and crisp set-up.
Openly emotive, passionately delivered and unafraid to lay bare vulnerability – His Goliath connect for melodic satisfaction and conceptual honesty alike.
“A heartbreak, a moment of happiness, intense feelings of love for someone or a social message; song writing offers the opportunity to pour any or all of the emotions, thoughts and experiences into a song.”
Mystery Math take inspiration from what they know works and connects in music, and weave into this their own freely meandering energy and presence.
A fantastic artist, with a classic sound & skill to his process but a unique edge to both his voice & his writing. Refreshingly honest in a commendably fearless way.
Stunning. Completely unexpected from the opening moments, but ultimately a total pleasure to escape into.
