ZETA – Causeway

Leave a comment

Catchy hooks and a wavy bassline do a great job of delivering this melody’s passionate vocals. Reverb plays an important role here, and is used with great skill both on the vocals and for building some monolithic bass constructions towards the end of the song.

”I can feel it in my bones

But I just can’t stop the feeling

Take me far away from you

‘Cause I’m not safe when defeated

The TV’s on but the kids still cry

You wanna be clean but you still get high

And you pull me in faster, faster love

And you’re taking the weight from my mind

And you’re pulling me deeper, deeper love

And you’re taking the pain from my mind”

Bensley – To The Moon

Leave a comment

Replay-abuse warning. Weaving a deep bass line with reverbed synths, it’s hard to stay still when stuff like this is blasting from the speakers. Get ready for take-off!

Skald – Seven Nation Army

4 Comments

Here’s a strong, neo-folk pack of energy straight outta Valhalla. I don’t know what’s the name of the female singer, but her chanting is a perfect match for the solemn male choirs. A piece to march on through “bad” weather. Even all the way to Uppsala :).

“I’m gonna fight ’em all
A seven nation army couldn’t hold me back
They’re gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I’m talking to myself at night
Because I can’t forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says “Leave it alone”
I’m going to Uppsala
Far from this opera for evermore
I’m gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I’m bleeding, and I’m bleeding, and I’m bleeding
Right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me “Go back home””
