A Fusion of Nostalgia and Futurism in Alternative Electro-Pop: 'Tired Wild Hearts' by ALTARVIOLET

‘Tired Wild Hearts’ by ALTARVIOLET

ALTARVIOLET sounds like an unfamiliar, misty forest path, accompanied by trip-hop beats and surrounded by distant dark synths. Greta Hotmer's voice balances finely between tart and sweet, penetrating through the dense canopy like the finest rays of sunlight.

‘Tired Wild Hearts’ by ALTARVIOLET

Her latest project fuses electropop, witch house, and acoustic melodies to create a unique listening experience that makes you feel like you're in a retro-vintage lounge and a futuristic spaceship simultaneously.

With the title track of the recently released album ‘Tired Wild Hearts’, ALTARVIOLET criticises those who deny responsibility for their own mistakes while exploiting others. The theme of emotional exploitation and double standards is explored and underscored with sharp imagery.

However, the song also offers a glimmer of hope by reminding us of the power of love and the human spirit to heal and renew. This dualistic portrayal makes the song both a social critique and a reflection on the resilience and restorative power of the human soul.

Anyone captivated by ‘Tired Wild Hearts’ should definitely give the album a listen, as it has so much to offer.

The album has been out for some time, featuring the remarkable track ‘Hold On’, where the band is joined by German singer Lener. Thematically, the song delves into the profound realisation that you are holding on to something that is not good for you. Musically, this theme is explored in the style of indie dream pop, with the track ethereally meandering through the twists and turns of our minds and hypnotically capturing our ears. The combination of introspective lyrics and dreamy sounds delivers a musical experience that envelops the mind and enchants the heart, creating a hypnotic effect that penetrates deep into our psyche and gently lingers there.

ListenNOW! "YOU CAN'T CALL FOR HELP" by MIBUZZU

"YOU CAN'T CALL FOR HELP" paints a disturbing picture of deception and loss of control. The imagery of lights being switched off and people standing close together, telling lies, creates a scene of betrayal and manipulation. MIBUZZU urges the listener to relax and let go, to sink into a dreamlike state where identity is forgotten. With its electro-pop style and a touch of the 80s, this song vividly explores themes such as manipulation, loss of identity, and the dark side of trust and intimacy.
