Deltawelle delivers a French New Wave journey with new EP, "Sentiments"
Deltawelle's "Sentiments" EP immediately stands out as a gripping, genre-blurring exploration of human feelings. With each of its four songs, the EP takes you on a journey through a cascade of stories, ranging from the mixed-up chaos of our existence to an escape from reality, and even a cosmic connection. All of this is presented within a sonic framework deeply rooted in the French New Wave movement.
From Leipzig, Germany, Deltawelle doesn't hesitate to dive deep into the intricate landscape of emotions, where music serves as a catalyst for translating feelings into melodies and stories. This EP is a testament to their remarkable ability to encapsulate sentiments through their craft.
"Sentiments" opens the door to this captivating journey. It's a song that mirrors the mixed-up feelings we all encounter, which are often a direct result of the chaotic world we inhabit. From the first notes, you're immersed in an atmospheric soundscape that builds and collapses in perfect synchrony with the emotional turmoil the lyrics depict.
"Oublié" offers a captivating twist, featuring a warning speech from the astronaut Alexander Gerst. Against an ethereal backdrop, his words create a sense of cosmic unease, a feeling that might be familiar to many as they navigate the complexities of our world. This track's ability to take a speech and weave it into a musical narrative is a testament to Deltawelle's imaginative approach.
"Retroviseur" continues the sonic journey, offering an escape from reality through daysleeping. The basslines are unmistakably one of the highlights in this track. They create an exciting foundation upon which the rest of the instrumentation is layered, showcasing the band's knack for building a sonic world that feels both relaxing and immersive.
The final track, "Jusqu'à ce que le soleil se couche," takes us even further afield. It explores the idea of two souls floating in the cosmos, a sentiment that's universal yet incredibly personal. The cosmic, ethereal qualities of this track perfectly encapsulate the feelings of interconnection and transcendence.
Deltawelle has crafted an EP that flows seamlessly, each song connected by its dedication to encapsulating the complex spectrum of human emotions. While the band hails from Germany, they pay homage to the French New Wave movement, creating a sound that feels timeless and fresh simultaneously.
"Sentiments" is more than an EP; it's a journey through the intricacies of the human heart and mind. Deltawelle doesn't just offer music; they offer an exploration of the human experience itself, soundtracked by an array of mesmerizing basslines and atmospheric instrumentation.
