MELODRIFT: MUSIC OF THE WEEK (11.10.24)

Discover the newest music that the MELODRIFT team have been listening to.

Bōnd Of Endless Tree​ ‘Drop’

With his third single, "Drop," Bōnd Of Endless Tree demonstrates his creative range. The music masterfully combines ambient warmth and literary profundity. The song puts listeners on edge with its dynamic variations, rising at times to almost pop-punk-like intensity while keeping a controlled, expressive journey. It combines electro-pop gentleness with a gradual build of expectation. His emotive voice steer the changing soundtrack, producing a novel and distinctive auditory experience. The song is a potent and intense release because of its thematic focus on self-empowerment in the face of difficulty and uncertainty, which is reflected in both the words and the enthralling performance.

Paige Drobot ‘Alien Girl’

The marvellous new track "Alien Girl" by Paige Drobot blends Drobot's punkier sensibilities and quirky wordplay with the sugary sweet melodies of 1950s doo-wop to fantastic effect. The song features a traditional chord sequence, but it switches keys twice at fairly regular intervals, creating three distinct sections: an instrumental section/guitar solo, a second verse, and a first verse. It's a clever musical move to create something new from a fairly conventional chord sequence and melody, and by the time the guitar solo enters the scene, the song has already soared two full leaps beyond its beginning.

Galaxy Shores ‘Never Been So Sure’

Galaxy Shores' cinematic offering, "Never Been So Sure," demonstrates how intriguingly he explores the boundaries of his music. In the psychedelic rock/pop scene, he has made a name for himself as a distinctive voice, and his journey is far from over.

Flo Naegli ‘Late Night Call’

Flo Naegli's latest single, "Late Night Call," explores longing and uncertainty emotions. The soulful, intricate track embodies Flo's emotional complexity, offering a refreshing yet nostalgic sound in an indie, soul, and pop style.

mau from nowhere ‘Fly’

The highlight tune "Fly," which is taken from mau from nowhere's latest EP, Soft Steps, has the musician collaborating with hihi to create a fantastic rendition of his grooving alternative pop sound. With its catchy bass lines, lively percussive bursts, and expressive vocals that switch between smooth melodic stretches and easygoing rap flows, "Fly" delivers a really unique and delightful sound that is sure to wow.
