"Melting into you" by The English Rain

The English Rain, a Brisbane music collective

The English Rain

... are a Brisbane music collective consisting of Steve Boom, Neil Steward, Cassi Marie, Alister Bell and Producer Jason Millhouse. The group came together in 2020 to record the debut album "Echoes of  You" which received airplay across the world and glowing reviews from the music press.

Originally, the idea behind The English Rain was to bring in musicians and vocalists who we admired and have quite an array of people on the record. This was predominantly because the songs consisted of various genres. After recording the first few tracks of the album with Alister and Cassi, it was obvious straight away that this was a sum greater than the parts. Along with the Producer Jason, everyone involved realised that we had the core of a great band and decided to only bring in other musicians where we needed.

The band released three singles from the debut album. In early 2021 we started work on our second album, which again covers a few genres outside of the indie pop that the band tends to favour.
The new sessions were far more collaborative than the first album with everyone having a greater role, and a focus on raising the bar with the instrumentation as well as the harmonies.



Melting into you

Ein Band, eigentlich mehr eine Art Collective, aus Brisbane, Australien, brachte vor ein paar Tagen ihre neueste Single auf den Markt. "Melting into you", so der Name des guten Stücks. Wobei die Bezeichnung "gut" eigentlich untertrieben ist. Vielmehr müssen wir hier von brillant, perfekt oder beeindruckend sprechen. Feinster Jangle Pop, wo großartige Harmonien und Hooks frei Haus
mitgeliefert werden. 
Das Thema, die Lyrics, die Liebe. Es handelt davon, sich in jemanden zu verlieben, der deine Welt auf den Kopf stellt. Nichts ist wie vorher, “Up-Side-Down“ gewissermaßen."I wrote the song after just falling hopelessly in love with someone, and it just all came together really quickly", so Steve, seines Zeichen Gründungsmitglied der Band. 
Alisters Vocals in Kombination mit Cassi und Steve im Chor holen einen zurück, "back to the good old days" sozusagen. Die Instrumentierung sehr authentisch, die Harmonien himmlisch-elegant und eine Reminiszenz an die großen Vorbilder dieser Zeit, dieser Dekade. Das i-Tüpfelchen, die Trompeten im Background, gekonnt arrangiert beleben sie den Song enorm.
Mit "Melting into you" überzeugen The English Rain auf's Neue und sorgen nach "Here comes the sun" für ein weiteres musikalisches Highlight gegen Ende des Jahres.
