New single and video, Dust and Sun, marks the return of shoegaze / dreampop band The Shallows from Boston, MA. Like the band's customary sound, the song is full of dreamy moods and melodic elements.
The song, which is set against a harsh atmosphere, conjures up a profound sense of hopelessness and depicts a barren wasteland as a symbol of struggle and emptiness. It also conveys a deep yearning for someone else, comparing such a need to the essential qualities of desert waterfalls. The song's themes of unmet expectations and the enduring nature of adversity are largely to thank for its potent impact.
Dust and Sun is an engrossing trip by means of emotional thirst that provides an insight into The Shallows' ability for establishing a dreamlike sound that rings true with genuine fragility.
