The Grove - Meadow Blues
The Grove sweep you off your feet with their chill, bluesy, bossa nova aesthetics in latest release Meadow Blues, from their debut EP, The Grove. The irresistible, pumping groove of the drums coupled with the sharp, swift strums of the guitar is honey to the ears. The textures slowly grow richer and more indulgent, with slick guitar motifs, reverberating melodic spreads, and plush backing vocals fusing into a delectable sound. The vocal duet captivates, with the velvety, mesmeric, smooth tone of the female vocals bringing in a soft emotive quality to the music. The laid-back, earthy male vocals have a charming easiness and nonchalance. The ebb and flow of the sound through the tender passages and swelling interludes is hypnotic. The flawless instrumentation immerses you in the cadence, the layers, and the feel of the sound, blurring the lines between the music and you. Listen to Meadow Blues by The Grove here!
