We’ve become big fans of Spelles here at Amplify the Noise and their latest single, “Night Terrors” only solidifies our obsession with them. The dynamic duo of Luc Laurent and Kathryn Baar, seamlessly fuse the spirit of Amy Winehouse with the edginess of Suicide in the song.
Opening with an eerie bass synth riff and a rhythmic drum pattern that sets a menacing tone, they lay the foundation for Kathryn’s soulful and biting vocals to penetrate the senses.
“Night Terrors” musically progresses from intense to floating in the ether back to intensity and Kathryn’s vocals are demanding, perhaps angry and fed up even. No matter which, she commands one’s attention with each note she sings. Combining the vocals with the lyrics, Spelles delves into the complexities of human emotions, touching on the conflict between hope and hopelessness that often arises when pursuing elusive dreams.
Does one give up?
The answer is no if you’re listening to “Night Terrors” by Spelles. It’s more than just a song. It’s the swift kick in the ass that one needs to move past the inner turmoil in pursuit of their dreams.
