Today we have a lovely future-pop tune by The Swoons, an American trio that impressed us very much! Their newest tune, “Lost”, presents an unexpected relaxing atmosphere, accompanied by a melancholic mood.
The trio created a dynamic and calm base, together with a splendid vocal. The singer keeps a relaxing mood, while adding a lovely message to the lyrics. “Lost” may sound as a sad tune, but in the riff, the protagonist admits to being lost, but wants to be “lost together” with his lover.
It’s a message of resignation, but with some hope and trust on his lover. So sweet!
The Swoons, in addition, used a lovely drop. I think that this part is clever, because it mixes “sad” elements (like the lead) together with a positive melody and a relaxing bass. This clash is not evident, but rather “hidden”. In conclusion, it’s really difficult to categorize “Lost”.
That’s not the classic depressing pop song, neither a chilly future bass production. It’s something in between, with personality and class. Great work by The Swoons!
