With the end finally in sight and the electrifying hum created from first single ‘willpower’ and second single ‘around my neck’ warmly echoing in our ears, Italian Indie band Eugenia Post Meridiem take us even deeper into their world with the mysterious and alluring ‘whisper’.
Housing a kaleidoscopic medley of flavours, breakdowns and builds, in both ‘willpower’ and ‘around my neck’, third track ‘whisper’ feels darker, edgier and even more explorative but still chock full of surprises. As ever, supplying just enough variation to keep listeners hooked and engaged whilst remaining cohesive and fluid.
Discussing ‘whisper’ in more detail, Eugenia Post Meridiem explain,
“Its a dark ballad you can dance to while wondering what could be the organic shape of despair. Conceived from a musical idea of Eugenia, we mostly focused on designing the right mood rather than overdeveloping the structures, which is the most linear and storytelling-like of the whole bundle. In order to recreate an old ballad atmosphere, we used harmonised choirs and specific sound processing and timbre choices. When the song reaches the end it drags along while Giovanni plays a heartbreaking guitar solo as if he exorcizes the nostalgia accumulated during the song; we are the musicians but we feel like a hypnotised audience.”
Dreamy, hypnotic and utterly other worldly yet tethered with sounds, qualities and textures of the past, Eugenia Post Meridiem’s music is an enigmatic score of crisp tones and exquisite colour unlike anything heard before. Riding their meteoric journey through space, the band have one more stop to make with the beckoning ’whisper’ until they complete their cosmic, musical odyssey with like i need tension out on the 18th of November.
