Novella - Change Of State
Change Of State's opening bassline fades in as if it had already been playing long before the album began. It's like we were already in the record's dreamy world and are only now realizing. There's a warmth to the rippling guitars and subtly harmonizing voices. It's relaxing, but there's still an energy to it.
This music is a sort of psychedelic shoegaze, very gently rhythmic with slow, considered melodies. But there are hooks in these songs despite the sleepiness. There's a simmering and a sweetness to it. It's really addictive.
Lots of bands go for this sound, but it takes a special kind of talent to pull it off this well.
