Album Art 'A Bath Full of Ecstasy' (2019)
The opener of the album 'Melody of Love', sets the record off to a good start. Full of harmonies and melancholic touches, it is definitely a sing-along heartbreaker of a tune. It's a song which explores finding small moments of hope in times of darkness and this meaning is reinforced through layers of synths and keyboards. The lyric "Do you have faith to feel in this world?" can truly resonate with the listener. Everyone feels that at times it can be hard to see the good in things and it can be difficult to have faith in people and the world, due to the events that happen day in day out. If you are looking for the ideal song of the summer and a competitor for a festival anthem, it has to be 'Hungry Child'. A downtown house beat pairs up with the synth well, creating a track which will no doubt be blasted in clubs up and down the country, attracting many eager listeners to the dancefloor. The band mix old with new in this piece, going back to the days of 90s rave and veering away from their signature sound to create something quite different. It is clear that the band have taken a lot of influence from the iconic sounds of the 90s, updating and reworking the rave genre.- Article continues below...
