The production is commendable, with dark and alluring melodies, thumping beats, swelling synths, and evocative string sections, all working in tandem to bring out the emotional intensity of the gripping theme. With imaginative and authentic songwriting, Silver Screen brings you the best of both worlds- deeply engrossing soundscape and lyricism. Listen now!
Head Sound - Like a Painting
Like a Painting envelops you with its plush soundscape. Head Sound, a dream-pop, shoegaze band, conjures an aural world that feels boundless and vivid, like scenes in a dream. Drawing inspiration from the immersive, entrancing rock aesthetics of My Bloody Valentine, Sigur Ros, Slowdive, and Radiohead, Head Sound plunges into the depths of human emotion without restraint. Undulating synth notes, fervid reverb-drenched riffs, and emphatic drums create a sound that stirs yet soothes your spirit. Distant hazy vocals caress the music, softening the sharp vibrancy of the sound. The infectious tune of the hook burrows itself deep into your mind, like a tattoo on your skin, one that you won’t regret. Listen now!
MoonBell - Are All Jazz Players Idealistic Nihilists?
MoonBell performs musical alchemy in Are All Jazz Players Idealistic Nihilists. MoonBell is the musical banner of Canadian multi-instrumentalist and storyteller Josh Richert, who is influenced by the styles of artists like Jacob Collier, Louis Cole, and Snarky Puppy. Transforming stray notes of acoustic guitar, trumpet solos, jazz rhythms, and choral hymns into an intricate and ethereal expression of music, he crafts a sound that rejuvenates. Infusing the mere nothingness of sonic vacuum with melody and design, he breathes new meaning into existence, essentially reinforcing the titular philosophy of Idealistic Nihilism—creating personal significance to actions even in the patent absence of a universal purpose.
