The melody in ‘Nowhere’ is supported by gentle guitar strings from the beginning of the song to the end. The guitar strings reverberations cascade slowly, giving the impression that they are not going anywhere, and its leisured echos invite listeners on a journey to a destination solely determined by the listeners themselves. The use of acoustic guitars and electric guitars in this track has produced a sound that is engaging. The track evokes peace, relaxation, and the need to just exist without the pressures to constantly remain busy or to attain recognition in the world.

WND tell us how he began making ‘Nowhere’: “This song was one of the few on this record written during a two-week stay in northern Montana last winter. I had a cabin on a little private lake, which I set up a small studio in. I remember starting the song on acoustic guitar one evening while watching the sun set over the mountains”.

Under Cimo Fränkel / AWAL, talented musician Cimo Fränkel released his latest single ‘Closed The Door’. Hailing from Amsterdam, Netherlands, the LA-based singer-songwriter recognises the work of Huey Lewis and Michael Jackson as the inspiration for his music. At the age of fifteen Cimo started out collaborating with other young Dutch musicians as well as delving into music production.

The vocals in ‘Closed The Door’ are awe-inspiring, boast a celestial quality and display the potency of Cimo’s vocal abilities through its euphoric high notes. Listening to this single is like listening to an angel singing because the control of the vocal cords is soul-stirring and speaks to a deep place in listeners’ hearts. The harmonisation in the song reaches an ecstasy with its effervescent high notes as it matches the exigence and vibration of the electric guitar that dominates the track towards the end.

Cimo Fränkel elaborates on the subject matter of the single: “Closed The Door’ is about a relationship coming to an end. It’s about being courageous enough to speak up and accepting the consequences of making the decision that it’s over”.

PLEEG and Eyezic’s new song Is elaborate and Innovative

Good collaborations require a connection between artists. There are often hitches in workflow or creative direction throughout the process, although, from what we can hear, producers PLEEG and Eyezic had no problems there, pulling off the feat without much effort. Titled ‘Dead Weight’, their latest single sees two producers from different worlds come together to mix French and American influences in a maelstrom of sound.

Beyond dynamic, the Quality Goods Records-signed single morphs constantly. One moment crashes fracture into a million fragments, the next we’re thrown into a tango with Latin-type beats. All of this is neatly packaged in the cleanest mix. Upfront and personal, the track begins with a sustained background of dark bass that contrasts with stunning, emotive vocals, which speak to the subject of romantic turmoil or disinterest even. Eyezic refers to “moody dark lyrics”, and his description is perfect.

Indie folk musician Land Of Trees debuts new video ‘See The Fire Dancing’

Nature explorer and musician Land Of Trees unveils the video for ‘See The Fire Dancing’ via Land Of Trees Music. The zestful musician first used poetry to express his love for nature, afterwards this love was put into his music.

Stream / Download: Land Of Trees – ‘See The Fire Dancing’

The video begins with a shot of the scattered lighting of the Varberg Theater, which twinkles like fireflies and stars in a cloudless night sky. The dimed back area of the theatre, together with the lighted stage, give the video a futuristic quality that is akin to a spaceship that can only be found billions of years into the future. The thought that comes to mind is how connected and similar the future is to the present and also how the past is connected to the future because fire and light shine bright in all civilisations and will most likely shine in the same manner for future generations.

Land Of Trees discusses the chosen venue for the video: “For most of the band it was the first time seeing Varberg Theater in all of its glory. It’s a well-preserved old theatre with a lot of soul. After setting everything up with lights, cameras and microphones, it was just a matter of actually recording the live session”.
