In a swirl of captivating sounds, pMad is back with an intriguing new single, "Celestial," which is set to be the lead track from his upcoming EP, "Trust Devoured." Teaming up with the intriguing UK/US duo Lunar Paths, pMad Paul Dillon from Portumna, Co. Galway, Ireland, takes his unique blend of minimalist post-punk and gothic indie rock into beautiful territory.
"Celestial" envelops listeners in a moody and atmospheric experience. With dark synths and an urgent, pulsing beat, the song strikes a balance between deep, introspective themes and airy, dreamlike sounds. The collaboration with Lunar Paths adds an ethereal quality to the vocals, harmonizing pMad's rough voice with a counterpart that drifts through the song like stardust. What's truly remarkable about "Celestial" is how it connects different musical styles and backgrounds. Influenced by pMad's emotional Irish roots, which resonate throughout the track, Lunar Paths adds a sparkle that gives it an international feel. The result is a sound that feels timeless, as if it could have come from a vibrant Berlin nightclub in the '80s or a distant memory in the stillness of the night.
There's also an excellent quality to this track. "Celestial" doesn't just play, it unfolds beautifully, expanding like a starry sky. With each listen, new details emerge, a guitar riff, a subtle wave of synth, and lyrics that resonate deeply. As a preview of "Trust Devoured," "Celestial" sets a high standard. It's a bold, emotionally rich piece of music that hints at even more exciting explorations ahead. Through his various collaborations, such as those with the Australian group Killtoys, pMad is not just crafting music, he's building a community of artists who thrive in the shadows and shine through the noise.
Fantastic, thank you so much for the wonderful review, you caught exactly what we are trying to build!! Most grateful to you Zillions Magazine. Cheers, pMad
