SINGLE REVIEW: The First Eloi - Last Days Of Summer
Beautifully dreamy with soft, whimsical, ethereal vocals, 'Last Days Of Summer' is a superb example of dream pop, boasting a shimmering, simmering sound reminiscent of sunlight on a lake. It carries a transcendent ambiance, coupled with a wonderfully reverberating sound that resonates throughout the track's dense production.
The cathartic lyrics convey the concept of a late summer drive, which transcends a mere journey; it becomes a statement about life, bidding farewell to the warm days of summer and the good times. It's a realisation that time has passed, yet you find yourself stuck in the backseat, observing others progress and succeed while you remain in the same place.
The melancholic, macabre essence of 'Last Days Of Summer' is melodically captured within the song's soundscape, featuring mellow guitars that occasionally erupt for added expression, subsonic bass that's more felt than heard, and rhythm-keeping drums that tie the entire sound together.
'Last Days Of Summer' is a captivating track that intricately weaves deeply felt emotions with hazy tones, delivering more of a listening experience than just a song.
