Single: Lovestain – Of Course

Lovestain is a captivating solo project crafted by multi-instrumentalist Ciro Trevisan, hailing from Brazil. This project delves into the introspective and melancholic realms of grunge, slowcore, and early emo. With a sound reminiscent of Nirvana, Lovestain weaves a dreamy atmosphere that feels fresh and engaging. The debut single serves as a heartfelt testament to the ennui that can accompany heightened intuition, a theme drawn from Trevisan’s personal experiences.

In this track, Trevisan skillfully recorded every instrument and provided vocals, showcasing his versatility and artistic vision. The song acts as an inviting introduction to his work, and I can’t help but feel that this is only the beginning of a promising journey. I hope he continues to draw from the rich tapestry of the ’90s, as evidenced by the nostalgic melodies throughout the piece.

One standout element is the grungy bass line that interplays beautifully with dreamy acoustic guitar riffs, creating a lush soundscape that resonates deeply. The overall energy of the song is both invigorating and immersive, leaving a lasting impression.

As a starting point, this track sets high expectations for what’s to come, and I eagerly anticipate the next musical offerings from Lovestain. The lyrics deserve special mention as well; they add an intriguing layer to the song’s overall vibe, enhancing the emotional depth of the experience.

It’s not always good to have great intuition
I’m so tired of predicting the future

And so on

Most people call it anxiety, for me it’s basic math
It’s sad, most things are obvious
So obvious it’s boring, it’s tedious

And it goes on

I don’t wanna know how things will go
And just can’t pretend I didn’t know
For me, it’s better not to leave home
I’m sure that way I’ll find something new
