After two EP releases, the London-based duo Arliston decided to end 2023 with their single Thawed released on the 24th of November via Sob Story Records. With their atmospheric spacey signature sound, Thawed ends Alliston’s year on a high note totally fitting the season’s vibes. Let me tell you more about it.
Thawed is a uniquely sounding tune with a spacious, open sound that hits you right from the intro. The raw acoustic guitars are mixed with the dreamy expressive vocal melody, hard-hitting beats, and emotional atmospheric synth in a beautifully harmonic mix, creating an escalating flow that moves forward toward a bigger sound in a dramatic progression with touching melodies. Thawed’s sound has a constant melancholic sense that stays intact throughout its shifts and movements, keeping its core mood while taking the listeners on an atmospheric experience that keeps them connected to Arliston as they build a solid connection with them through the authentic feelings projected by their haunting sound and flow.
Thawed is a multi-layered, multi-textured piece by Arliston with deep, heart-hitting sound and mesmerizing pace, showing Arliston’s sense of melody and well knowledge of their direction. Looking forward to more from Arliston, keep on rocking guys. Cheers!
