Milky Chance have described the meaning of their sweet-sounding latest single as “ emerging from that nihilism and negativity to find meaning and emotion again” the dulcet, positive vibe of the track certainly resembles a peaceful transition of a person from once stuck in a negative mindset, to blossoming into someone who is blooming with a positive aspect on life. Repeated lyrics of ‘you have to trust in someone, trust in someone, trust in someone’ lead up to the chorus, further adding to the infectious hookworm of ‘Blossom’. Just like previous Milky Chance releases Cocoon, Down by the River, and of course Stolen Dance, the song carries an groovy beat, with a hook you’re sure to remember. Rehbein has one of the most unique vocals in the music industry his smokey bluesy twang compliments Dausch’s production perfectly. The repeating melody throughout the verses is reminiscent of the hook from popular house songs from the last few summers such as Kung’s ‘This Girl’ – the track uses the best parts of house music and mixes it with guitar, creating a chilled sound with an irresistible catchy beat. Once the beat ‘drops’ at 25 seconds into the song, Milky Chance’s defining mellow guitar vibe kicks in, and the listener can tell at this point that ‘Blossom’ has the winning ingredient which makes all the band’s music great. The track begins with a house-inspired gradual electronic build-up – Milky Chance’s music has been described in the past as ‘folktronica’, mixing traditional serene acoustic sounds with modern electronic beats. Following endless touring around the USA and the release of debut album Sadnecessary, Milky Chance are back with a new album for you to hear, with the latest cut released being title track ‘Blossom’. Its video released in 2013, the song has to date received just around 300 million views on YouTube. They uploaded music onto YouTube not anticipating the wave of attention their songs drew from fans worldwide – ‘Stolen Dance’ is an iconic, bittersweet nostalgic song echoing the woes of lamenting and heartbreak, yet is so simple in its guitar-backed composition. This is very evident in Daybreak, and in his remixes of other songs, such as the track “Easier” originally by “Mansionair”.5 years ago, Clemens Rehbein and Philipp Dausch were just two hard-working students at a German high school dedicating every inch of their spare time towards busking/recording songs penned by Rehbein. Electric Mantis has been making experimental beats for three years now and has developed a signature sound, airy and smooth. It is almost as if Electric Mantis produced the song while floating on a giant pool inflatable.
The way the sound is released by the beat and then snatched back up again through short pauses and chopped vocals makes the record have a relaxed poolside feel. The song’s light and hollow sounds are layered over experimental beats creating a very unique track. Milky Chance’s new album Blossom will be released on Friday, March 17.Įlectric Mantis’ “Daybreak” (February, 2016) has you hooked from the first bar. “Ego, see your ego” sings the lead singer Clemens Rehbein, trapping the melody in your head forever. The video itself merely has a vase of flowers with the lyrics printed underneath. “Ego” features a catchy, upbeat melody bass riff that leaves you humming it long after the song’s finished. Staying true to their origins, the song has an indie-alt-rock feel to it. The German folk duo-turned-trio released the track last month and it has since gained over a million views on youtube. “Ego” is one of Milky Chance’s newest hits.
