With their latest single, “Lost”, Vanarin delivers a soundscape that is both immersive and subtly energetic, showcasing their ability to meld textures and moods with remarkable fluidity. A trip-hop foundation gives the track a laid-back but driving rhythm, which pairs perfectly with reverberated vocals and ambient synths that hover just above the beat. The band crafts a sound that feels like a lucid dream, with subtle layers pulling listeners deeper as each moment unfolds.
The vocals echo as if from a distant place, giving the song an otherworldly quality. This vocal treatment, coupled with hyperbolic synth lines, injects an ethereal quality that feels uniquely theirs. They are melodic and rich, yet never overbearing. In “Lost”, Vanarin successfully merges a spectrum of influences into a cohesive vision that’s groovy but also entrancing. They invite one into an experience that’s less about any one part and more about its cohesive feel.
