As a follow-up to their 2022 debut EP Shelter in Place, the LA-based rocking duo Mike and Mandy dropped their latest single Timeworn on the 10th of January, 2023. Dedicated to all the troubled minds and the late nights we spend looking for answers, the duo has put together a piece that’ll immediately go straight to your heart and “on-repeat” playlist, let me tell you more about it.
Mike and Mandy set Timeworn’s mood and vibe for right from its start, the warm soothing vocal melody and smoothly escalating soundscapes created a soft, beautifully heart-hitting build-up that catches the listeners’ attention and builds an emotional bond with them. Mike and Mandy cleverly created a mellow state of soothing sounds as Timeworn progressed forward into a bigger multi-layered sound, while carefully keeping the song’s soulful heartfelt core alive. It is a pure demonstration of Mike and Mandy‘s strong writing skills and good sense of melody, it has an interesting, always progressing structure with dynamic ups and downs and diverse instrumentation, with fluid melodies and carefully crafted harmonies, turning it into an extremely enjoyable sound journey.
Timeworn shows Mike and Mandy‘s character, dedication, and well-knowledge of their desired sound and direction. The way they steered its dynamics without compromising their deeply touching sound was very interesting, as they used their weapons wisely to produce such an engaging melodic flow without compromising their feelings. I’m definitely going to dig more into your stuff. Cheers guys, keep on rocking!
