Vargen’s music is not new to me, I was hooked to their music when I first listened and experienced their single “The Bitch In Me”…their music induces very intense feelings of musicality…their melodies are instantaneously catchy…and this is exactly what still happening with their latest single “Easter Soul”.
With a classic rock/folk approach to “Easter Soul”, the Swedish band Vargen is putting even more life into this one…the vocals are alive and full of emotions, the guitar is also alive and full of nuances…
The song starts with vocals and folk guitars…it starts from a minimal but emotional point…it builds up bit by bit, drums kick in the proverbial door…the tight and subdued bass is there, doing its melodic magic in the background.
“Easter Soul” really has a lot of soul…it’s rock, bluesy guitar-focused approach steals the show and the attention…these guitar solos are super melodic…you just don’t want them to end…and the vocals add so much more than just a vocal melody, but the emotions that comes across through with the vocals are so powerful…then you have some awesome production sections where the vocals do different stuff…dreamy spacey vocal pads and some choirs in the back…
…everything adds up to the experience as a whole, it feels so rich and full, whether with musicality or emotions…
Vargen, after “Easter Soul”, their fourth single, are ready to start working on releasing their upcoming eponymous album…something we’ve all been wanting and waiting for…
We wish Vargen all the best in life, they deserve it, we can’t wait to experience their album when it comes out.
Cheers!
