Meltt – “Do You Ever Wonder”
The Canadian psychedelic rock band Meltt has released the wonderfully uplifting track “Do You Ever Wonder,” a dreamy and psychedelic gem.
Built on a solid disco-like drum beat and a rich, rhythmic bass line, the track exudes warmth and vibrancy. This is primarily achieved through the use of shimmering synths that provide a lush backdrop to the song. The clean guitar is particularly noteworthy, with its reverberating tones adding an ethereal quality and creating a tight groove in sync with the dynamic drum beat. The overall musicianship in this track is impressively solid.
Vocals in the song are gentle and airy, blending seamlessly with the track’s psychedelic essence. The ease with which falsetto notes are hit enhances the song’s otherworldly feel. Additionally, the backing vocals add depth to the track, almost resembling a beautiful, distant howling.
Thematically, “Do You Ever Wonder” speaks to the liberation from societal constraints and the journey to self-discovery. The chorus delves into the anxieties of watching time slip away, urging listeners to seize control of their lives and stop squandering time. This message, combined with the song’s hypnotic soundscape, makes for a compelling and thought-provoking listening experience.
