Mesmershade is a dark-pop duo who breathe life into melancholy with their music. Their sound refutes conventional contours of genres and redefines it to suit the thematic mood and aesthetic. This process of exploration and discovery allows them to cast commonplace themes in a different light, and showcase a new perspective that elevates the listening experience. In their latest single, ‘Petrichor’, they present a haunting soundscape to flesh out the bittersweet quality of nostalgia.
The vocals spin a storytelling narrative that whirlpools around the petrichor moment and memory. Wound in heartache, loneliness, and painful quietness, it springs with live imagery. And it is quite impressive how they achieve such emotive richness with such a minimalist composition. The monotonal vocals are detailed by monotonal melodies to form a cyclical infinity. Undercurrents of melancholy and tragedy are weaved in. The composition is remarkably poignant and atmospherically soul-stirring. Listen Now!
