Haha ok…now
I fell so in love with this band’s sound that I just HAD to put this album up
here! I’m not 100% if these guys are Christian, but their songs with their
intimate lyrics really spoke to me. I cannot really explain the joy and
excitement one encounters after finding gems like these randomly on
Noisetrade.
The Bright
Road, based in Montreal, started with Phillipe Garceau and various
collaborations around the year 2010. The current five members only met a few
months after the release of the 2012 album, Norway.
They label
their genre “Dream Pop” and “Indie Pop Ambient”…I think they hit the nail on
the head when they use the words “dream” and “ambient”. The music off this
album is extremely mellow and, to an extent, enchanting. The charming, heartfelt
lyrics capture you immediately…whisking you off to a tranquil state of mind.
“And how can I say I don’t need your grace
What would I do far from your face?
My life has purpose only
When you take
control”
AS I pressed
‘play’ their impeccable vocals caught my attention. They mix common instruments
(like the guitar and drum) with various digital media in order to create a different
atmosphere for each song. I found that the almost “chant-like” singing in songs
like Du was amazing to play in the
background during my quiet times.
If you are
looking for a perfectly executed mellow and relaxing album…look no further than
Norway! I am so excited to see what
they produce in the future!
Listen to their title track "Norway" below.
Peace and
Love
