Miles Away ushers in a new era of sound on single, "Besides Hope"
With Besides Hope, Vancouver-based artist Miles Away ushers listeners into an immersive, reimagined soundscape, blending heartfelt emotion with larger-than-life production. Known for his expressive electronic music, Miles Away takes a bold step forward by debuting his own vocals, marking the start of an era that feels deeply personal and undeniably resonant.
Drawing inspiration from heavyweights like Porter Robinson and ODESZA, Besides Hope channels the expansive, cinematic qualities of modern electronic music while carving out its own unique identity. The production is meticulous yet evocative, building a world of swirling synths, subtle keys, and anthemic crescendos. There’s a rock-tinged edge to the instrumental, adding depth and grounding the track’s pop-electronic core. Every layer serves to amplify the emotional intensity, creating a sound that feels both intimate and monumental.
Miles Away’s decision to use his own vocals is a revelation. His voice, raw and emotive, brings an authenticity that deepens the connection between artist and listener. The lyrics, exploring themes of memory, resilience, and hope, carry a weight that lingers long after the final notes fade. His delivery is as dynamic as the production—at times tender and introspective, at others soaring and cathartic—matching the song’s sweeping arc perfectly.
What makes Besides Hope truly stand out is its balance. The track expertly weaves its emotive storytelling with irresistibly catchy melodies, ensuring it resonates on both an intellectual and visceral level. The subtle keys peppered throughout add a layer of vulnerability, contrasting beautifully with the grand, larger-than-life crescendos that Miles Away has mastered. The result is a track that feels universally relatable yet deeply personal.
As the opening chapter of a new musical narrative, Besides Hope invites listeners to join Miles Away on a journey where the past informs the present and every note bridges memory and possibility. It’s not just a single—it’s a statement, a promise of more to come from an artist unafraid to evolve and connect on a profoundly human level.
