Song Review - Materia - Slipping Away
REVIEW BY: JADE GUIDA
Straight out of the gate this song is an explosion of creativity and rebellion against modernity.
‘Slipping away’ is innovative song writing at its finest, these talented musicians have put a spicy spin on a much-loved classic sound. This a tip of the hat to 70s rock with a glistening twinkle of glam metal beaded throughout.
I am obsessed with this track.
Materia has rejected the rules, rebelled against expectation, and created a true masterpiece of music in this release ‘slipping away’. The duality in this song is clever and makes for an overall enthralling listening experience. The syncopated riff that drives this piece is addictive.
The fact that they then took the enthralling riff and layered it with Mandolins, Violins, and thunderous drums is * chefs kiss *
The mastery in this song is second to none. This is pure creativity, pulled together with flawless skill and precision.
This is a track that you want to hear on repeat.
This is a track you want to hear everywhere, all the time and especially live.
I think this is an interesting spin on 70s rock. It has enough in it to feel familiar and make you want to listen but there is just an overwhelming amount of creativity and diversity in this one piece that you can also recognize it is something completely different.
This is an incredible track and I am so excited that they have unleashed it to the universe.
Materia has rejected modernity but overshot tomorrow, unwittingly exchanging their guitars for lutes. Glam metal vocal tones unleash soaring melodies descending on a bed of 70s inspired rock. Syncopated riffs belted from mandolins and violins alike are framed by thunderous beats evoking echoes of hardcore drumming. Unorthodox and unapologetic, Materia heralds the end of the age of guitar.”
That's right! Mandolin & Violin! and with the drummer from Loose End & Future Static you can't go wrong!
