Ethereal Shore by Night Hikes
May 26, 2023
In late 2021, Olivia Godby and Matthew Farrell dedicated themselves to recording their most ambitious songs up to that point. Taking inspiration from influential shoegaze bands like The Veldt and Lush, they used distorted guitars and rhythmic beats next to soft vocals for their new material.
The band's upcoming album, Keeper of Reality, is set to be released on July 21st, 2023. Ethereal Shore is presented as the album's leading single.
Ethereal Shore embodies the essence of shoegaze pop, serving as an anthem that combines a melancholic undertone with a dynamic and lively atmosphere. Its overall effect is incredibly liberating. The song effectively reflects the impression of awakening from a vivid dream, evoking a sense of excitement with a racing heart, signifying a profound encounter with truth.
