Top Tracks: lotusbliss – Heaven To Me

I sometimes wonder if my Spotify stats read like the listening habits of a crazy person. The kind of person that will sit and listen to the same single song on repeat for interminably long stretches of time. The way I see it, if I’m to write about a song and do it justice, I need to know it inside and out, even if it takes hours. Many songs do not fare well with that level of repetition; it becomes such familiar territory that your brain just coasts by on autopilot. But then you have songs like ‘Heaven To Me’, that unveil their secrets gradually, sounding as fresh on the 50th listen as they did on the first. This track from sibling trio lotusbliss, taken from their new EP Deafening and Silent, feels like the audio equivalent of a mirror maze. Weaving an illusion which make it seem like it stretches on forever. From the deft intricate drum work, to the understated synthscapes flickering in the background. With angelic vocals reminiscent of Nothing But Thieves’ Conor Mason, and guitar that both squalls like a gale and twirls gently like a falling snowflake. Every listen becomes a fresh adventure well worth embarking on.
