Typically, our blog steers clear of covering instrumental tracks, especially in my posts. However, I recently felt compelled to make an exception for the newest single, “Wherever We End Up Next,” from a talented instrumental rock band based in Sydney, Australia. Active since 2006, this group has consistently crafted ethereal instrumental music, drawing influences from the intricate patterns of math-rock, the dreamy textures of shoegaze, and the immersive qualities of ambient music. The latest single is part of a series leading up to their forthcoming album, set to be released in February. These tracks delve deeper into the realm of ambient music, showcasing lush, atmospheric soundscapes paired with powerful, evocative melodies. To give you a taste of what to expect, here’s a brief quote from the press about this captivating single:
““Wherever We End Up Next” is a composition that blends soaring melodies with intricate guitar layers that cinematically builds up and crescendos into an emotional release. At the midway point, the song picks itself up again and works towards a vibrant yet delicate outro led by string instruments, acoustic guitar and percussion. The song is an exploration of texture, mood and hope.“
This quote might aptly reflect the essence of the other singles from the forthcoming album as well. Each of the three singles immerses listeners in a thermal, mesmerizing atmosphere that is sure to leave a lasting impression. As you listen, you can simply close your eyes and allow the enchanting melodies to wash over you, reaching deep into your soul. These beautifully crafted and powerfully evocative tracks serve as a tantalizing preview of the new record, which promises to be equally captivating. I found immense joy in experiencing these fresh additions to their extensive discography. The band has been remarkably prolific, consistently releasing multiple albums since their inception, all of which can be explored on their Bandcamp page. If you found pleasure in these three songs, there’s a treasure trove of music waiting for you to discover and enjoy.
