Pastel releases groovy new single 'Daylight', listen to it here

April 30, 2020 by Gems Secrets in Bedroom Pop, Indie, Indie Pop, Pop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Pastel has a brand new song out that we can’t get enough of. Titled ‘Daylight’, the new single showcases a groovy drum track over crisp, polished vocals. All-in-all, the production feels vibrant and uplifting which makes it the perfect “pick-me-up” for any day of the week. Here’s what Pastel has to say:

“The process of creating Daylight was actually pretty fast and the funny fact is, Ben and I made it the day we met”, Pastel commented. “Ben was studying in London and we got in touch through a mutual friend in Camden, from Nashville. It started more like a jam at the beginning – I was playing a few chords, Ben came up with the solos behind and then I found the guitar lead. We actually sang the song that day and finished the instrumental later in the week by adding some more layers and some choir vocals to lift the harmonies. It really was a case of spontaneity fuelling creativity!”

For anyone looking to relax, ‘Daylight’ is an exceptional record from the inside out. Interested in hearing more? Don’t forget to connect with Pastel online to stay up to date on his forthcoming EP ‘Cereal’, which is scheduled for release this June.

Strandels speaks on inner demons with new single 'Talking To The Moon', listen here

April 24, 2020 by Gems Secrets in Indie Pop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

It’s been awhile since we’ve featured an artist like Strandels. For fans of indie pop and folk, the duo’s sound could be described as honest and melancholic, but more importantly, it just feels genuine to us.

“‘Talking To The Moon’ is about all your inner demons that you’re always struggle with. In our case it’s about not feeling comfortable with opening up fully to a real person, so you turn to the moon (like a metaphor of talking to nothingness) and that you never get an answer.”

‘Talking To The Moon’ is such a beautiful song. It’s expressive and moody in all the right ways and we’re excited to hear what else the band has been working on. Until then, take the time to really soak this one in.
