Marble Raft – “Rites of Passage”

“Rites of Passage” by Marble Raft is an interesting journey; dream-pop with melancholy undertones. Released as part of their upcoming album, titled “Dear Infrastructure”. The melancholy in this track bears a tone of hope as it weaves a sonic tapestry into the quintessence of adolescence and urban exploration. Olle Söderström and Gabrielle Werme Baker of the Swedish duo weave a chimey guitar, string machine, and haunting mellotron into their vocalist harmonies to make up the soundscape that feels both vast and intimate. You envision yourself walking through a city that’s shining bright yet desolate with a good friend and trying to find warmth from the cold.

I love how Marble Raft melds such emotive storytelling with lush, expansive soundscapes in “Rites of Passage.” It is a track that resonates deeply with heartbeats and speaks to us to find our own sanctuaries. Do follow them on socials for more updates on this brilliant musical journey ahead, including tours.
