Their latest single, “Ethereal Wood,” feels more like an invitation to step into a magical realm. It takes listeners on an enchanting journey through a mythical forest that feels both timeless and fresh.
With a sound that blends elements of folk and dreamy atmospheres, “Ethereal Wood” invites you into a unique audio experience that is both simple and incredibly rich. This track defies easy labels, while it has folk influences and ambient qualities, it ultimately feels otherworldly. It unfolds slowly, filled with soft synth sounds, haunting melodies, and stories that seem to be told around a warm fire in a forgotten glen.
What sets World Without Humans apart is their ability to craft music that feels both approachable and richly layered. “Ethereal Wood” captures your attention right from the start, beginning with gentle sounds that mimic the whispers of nature. As the song progresses, it develops into a lush tapestry of sounds, vibrant and full of mystery. There’s a quality to it, yet it maintains a delicate, personal touch. It feels grand without being overwhelming and intimate, yet expansive. The lyrics and emotions in the song evoke something ancient and powerful, resonating with legends of old, enchanting creatures and forgotten deities. At the same time, there’s a sense of modern grief woven throughout, a feeling of yearning and wonder that lingers even after the music ends.
With “Ethereal Wood,” World Without Humans embodies their passion for blending diverse styles and proves they’re focused more on creating immersive worlds than adhering to a specific genre. This is music for explorers, dreamers, and anyone who has ever felt the pull of a forest that exists just beyond the map.
