Having featured a slew of Under Delusion’s previous singles, we were stoked to learn that the trio had just released the evocatively titled, Music is My Drug, which is nothing short of a transcendental journey through the power of music – a track that captures the intoxicating nature of sound and emotion.

The song opens with a super-dimensional guitar performance that immediately sets an epic tone. The guitars soar with a raw intensity, creating a powerful backdrop that perfectly complements the atmospheric vocals. The captivating vocal timbre is mesmerizing, much like the band’s overall sound.

With over 10 million streams globally and a dedicated fan base in 130 countries, the visionary trio continues to solidify their place in the synth rock landscape. Music is My Drug is a testament to the universal connection that music fosters, weaving synthetic grooves and rock guitars into a soundscape that is both familiar and refreshingly unique.

Lyrically, Music is My Drug is a profound exploration of the dual nature of music as both a healer and a source of pain. The metaphorical hook, “Music is My Drug, I don’t wanna stop before I tell my story,” encapsulates this beautifully. It speaks to the band’s deep-rooted passion for music and the need to share their experiences through their art. This line alone resonates deeply, hinting at the personal and emotional storytelling that underpins the track.

The guitar performances throughout the song are nothing short of iconic. They drive the track with a relentless energy, showcasing the band’s seasoned musicianship and ability to craft compelling rock anthems. Each riff and solo is executed with precision, adding layers of complexity and depth to the song. The unapologetic nature of the prose is mirrored in the bold and assertive guitar work, creating a cohesive and powerful listening experience.

Sonic ebbs and flows are masterfully orchestrated, keeping us hypnotized from start to finish. The track alternates between intense, driving sections and more atmospheric, introspective moments, creating a dynamic that is both captivating and immersive. This push and pull reflect the emotional intensity that the band aims to convey, drawing listeners into their world and holding them there.

Under Delusion‘s modern mix of genres, inspired by acts like Bring Me The Horizon, Royal Blood, Highly Suspect, and Yonaka, positions them at the forefront of alternative rock. Their ability to balance familiar elements with a distinct identity makes Music is My Drug a standout track. The song’s cinematic quality, often commented on by fans, is evident here, with each note and lyric painting a vivid picture that could easily serve as a film soundtrack.

Naturally, we have added Music is My Drug to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Under Delusion, and anticipate future releases from the band!

Establishing the mood with enigmatic electric guitar and industrial percussion, Under Delusion open Over the Rainbow with atmospheric vocals and the emotive lyrics, “Last time you said, you’ll never love another girl, and you were sad, and I thought that you are wrong…”

The opus expands with a alternative, synth rock energy to deliver a meaningful and heart felt message. We learn that Over the Rainbow was written in loving memory of Under Delusion‘s friend and talented musician Maxx Verkhovski.

The band confess, “Maxx worked with us in a studio when we recorded demos of Fairy, Pain and other songs of our debut album. We had a great conversation about music, artists and music-making just a day before he passed away.”

A lyrical highlight is, “Feel the rhythm and flow, open up you heart, cause music is a part of you, that can go far beyond your life…”, which really cements the message and impact of Maxx Verkhovski‘s life.

We appreciate the poetic nuance of the composition, and the soundscape that Under Delusion create with their artistry. The final segment of the opus, before the final reprise, is haunting as we experience the hook of the song on an emotional loop.

Comprised of band members well into their thirties, Under Delusion speaks volumes on behalf of life-long passion and experience united. Presenting themes of love, anger, loss, and all manner of honest reflections on humanity and life itself, their songs call out to the deep thinkers and emotionally uncertain alike. In times of great division and difficulty, they offer understanding, escapism and solace.

We have added Over the Rainbow to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Under Delusion including Fairy and Runaway.

Setting the tone with enigmatic and intriguing guitar and a textured, immersive bass, Under Delusion open their latest single Runaway with the vulnerable and thought-provoking lyrics, “I cover my eyes with my hands again, cos I’m tired and I lose my temper, to stop my dark world from flooding all around, trying hard not to surrender…”

The song expands into a hypnotizing alternative rock soundscape with a narrative that touches upon themes of love, anger, loss and the human condition.

We are in love with vocalist Tatyana’s low timbre vocal, fused with the dark and sexy guitar and emotive synth production, which really dimensionalizes the song.

Comprised of band members in their thirties, Under Delusion have a lot of collective experience in music and in times of great division and difficulty, they offer understanding, escapism, and solace.

Fans of the band Garbage will love Under Delusion‘s sound and lyricism, but it is clear that they are creating a creative intention of their own. Runaway is the first single of upcoming second album from the Moscow based trio. Their debut album Lover was released 3 months ago and has amassed more than a million streams.

We have added Runaway to our New Music Spotlight playlist and continue to stream Under Delusion‘s wider discography including Fairy and Follow Me!
