Setting the tone with background noise textures, and cerebral, rising frequencies, Karma Brigade open ALIVE with intrigue, dimensionality, expanding into a luscious and immersive alternative round soundscape.
The opus takes on a meditative vibe before we are hypnotized by atmospheric vocals and situational, yet inspiring lyricism from the Icelandic band based in Reykjavík. We appreciate the poetic prowess that they share and the intricacies and dynamic nature of the production.
ALIVE is the opening track from the band’s album, designed to give us a taste of the “magnetic, powerful feeling that they feel when they take a moment to pause and enjoy the moments that they are living, breathing and creating all around them.”
Speaking on their debut album, the band confesses, “Our first album reflects us as young adults, learning about life, becoming our true selves, facing difficulties as well as going through all the highs. This is an album where we pour our emotions into every song.”
ALIVE also comes with a cinematic music video directed by Einar Egils, shot at dusk, featuring an incredible performance from the band. We love the sentiment and authenticity that Karma Brigade share, and have added ALIVE to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we explore their wider discography and anticipate further releases from the emerging stars!
