Holy Christ! A Venetian artist living and working in Amsterdam and Moscow is back with an eerie new single, "Echoes." This dreamlike meditation is swathed in atmospheric textures and softly spoken revelations. This is a song you move through, like mist parting to disclose everything you believed you'd lost and everything you can still become.
"Echoes" opens with a gentle pulse, a heartbeat of resounding guitar tones and ambient textures that at once set its emotional temperature introspective, warm, ghostly. The production has a hush to it, a gentle restraint that somehow mewls louder than any noise ever could. It doesn't ask for attention. It deserves it with feeling, not force.
The singing "Echoes" from down a long hallway, half-heard but fully remembered. Holy Christ! He doesn't sing to wow, he sings to convey, tiptoeing between presence and absence. Every line rings out like a thought you've had once in the dark but couldn't quite articulate until now.
"Echoes" is a voyage inward through fading memories, forgotten dreams, and moments that once shone like a flame. Instead of locking the listener in nostalgia, the song gently pushes them forward. Think of the red balloons on the single's sleeve, buoying a little girl off the ground. That's what this song does. It remembers, but only to remind you that letting go can be a way of moving on.
Merging alternative rock with elements of dream-pop and subtle shoegaze undertones, the production is as layered and engulfing as the feelings it immerses you in. It's a slow build of a track, a patient one that doesn't rush toward a climax so much as spirals out like a thought you didn't realize you needed to think until you've finished the thought.
