It is a piece that creates an atmosphere, and Among the Masses calls it "Antarctica."
Swedish band Among the Masses presents "Antarctica," a single that captures their trademark blend of darkwave, alternative rock, and electronic influences. Paying tribute to such bands as Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Radiohead, the Stockholm-based group creates minds that are nostalgic yet forward-thinking. With the production and mixing handled by Andreas Ahlenius, whose know-how strongly shapes the band's sound development, "Antarctica" brings forth a fascinating exploration of atmosphere, texture, and emotion.
Listening to "Antarctica" is to be swept away into a world of cold, cinematic beauty. It has a gorgeous, expansive production built on layers of synth-driven melodies, ethereal vocals, and brooding bass lines. With a pace and depth, atmospheric as the frozen continent bearing its name, utterly appropriate for a lengthy piece.
Both haunting and deeply emotive, David Liebe's lead vocals convey a sense of loss tinged with a quiet urgency. Their marriage of organic instrumentation with electronic elements gives way to a soundscape that is both intimate and vast, like that of a lonely traveler standing on the verge of the Earth.
"Antarctica" refrains from themes of being alone, searching deep within, and aching for the edges thereof. The song's ideas set up the notion of a person staying hopelessly close to coldness and distance. Poetic visualization art highlights the pieces spoken and allows the song to resonate with both personal and universal appeal.
Among the Masses has composed a hypnotizing and evocative piece for "Antarctica." It serves to showcase how far the merging of atmospheric beauty and raw emotion can go, all the while underscoring a track that lingers for ages after the last note fades.
