Therum is a conceptual and exploratory musician. His soundscapes are often crafted as new worlds that each sonic element is a feature of. And listening to them is to indulge in the pleasure of discovery. This banner is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist John Luke Melovich. Spirited with experimentation and innovation, his work largely revolves around post-rock spheres. The artist has just released an album, ‘Darklines Within Us’. Across seven tracks, he uncovers and presents the shadows of the human experience.
From contemplative frames and ethereal imagery to ringing discord and disarray, he goes through it all to nudge the listener into disorientation. He creates spaces that force necessary realizations. It’s very powerful. And it is best enjoyed collectively, journeying through diverse cerebral music cultures.
The title track, ‘The Darklines’ is a special one, with the theme culminating in its resonant flows. Opening with luminescent swirls of outworldly melodies and echoes, it phases into breathtaking moments of mantric blooms, transcending vocals, and shoegaze planes. Its artistic vision and execution is reminiscent of experimental geniuses like Pink Floyd. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
