“Discovering The Undiscovered”

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

In his latest album, "the life and death of a dog," Canadian musician maxime. delves into the profound impact that a beloved family pet can have on one's life. With gritty guitars, candid lyrics, and unique textures, this album pushes the boundaries of indie innovation. From the nostalgic Pixies-inspired melodies of "raspberry vampire" to the emotional guitar-driven balladry of "talk 2 me" and the powerful anthem of the titular track, maxime. delivers his most sincere work yet.

What's even more impressive is that he single-handedly wrote, produced, and engineered the entire project. If you're yearning for a sentimental journey through indie alt-rock, look no further than this remarkable album. Give it a spin and immerse yourself in maxime.'s heartfelt exploration of life and loss.

Listen to Parasite on Spotify. AWAY · Song · 2020.

AWAY, Roniit, and Crywolf team up to deliver 'Parasite', stream the new single here

October 26, 2020 by Gems Secrets in Alternative, Dark, EDM, Electronic, Feature, Experimental, Grunge

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

AWAY, Roniit, and Crywolf recently teamed up to deliver this haunting new track titled ‘Parasite’. Fueled by ominous vocals and dark instrumental undertones, ‘Parasite’ does an incredible job at unleashing a darker side within all of us. Not only did we find the new song unique in its own design but it’s safe to say it’s one of the few genre-blending records—that we’ve come across this year—that feels powerful enough to stand out on its own. Or in other words, AWAY is paving a new path for himself sonically and creatively, which ultimately, will inspire the many artists who will choose to follow him in his footsteps.

And to us, that’s something worth paying attention to.

In closing, we’re already looking forward to hearing more from AWAY, but in the meantime, we’ll just have to keep ‘Parasite’ on repeat. Don’t forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date and enjoy!
