Radiant Hex
Taken from their forthcoming EP, Quiet Confidence, Ninetails bring us a densely demure and profoundly affective offering in the form of opening track: “Radiant Hex.”
Intellectualising sound and language to such great heights and complexities rarely combines so seamlessly. This Liverpudlian three piece have woven the elements together, in a few minutes of ornate and unobtrusive modesty.
“Radiant Hex” commences with a tranquil, rnb-esque setting, soon interlaced with an effortlessly mellifluous vocal and beautifully versed discourse. Shifting sonic soundscapes aren’t the only views to admire. Complex arrangements are overlaid with lyricism both poetic and profound. Collaboration, rather than collision is key: not allowing one element to embody and encompass the product, the poignant and well-crafted words are allowed to marinade in electronic instrumentalization and idiosyncratic backdrops.
Immersive moments creep constantly through the track. Ethereal and contemplative, “Radiant Hex” suspends any sense of urgency and takes a more meditative route to euphoria. The product: evocation of emotive grandiose carried in calmness.
Radiating ambience of the most affecting sort, this Avant-pop/indie revelation doesn’t need an anthemic chorus to move you, but they do give us something to shout about.
Listen to “Radiant Hex” above. Upcoming EP Quiet Confidence is released on the 10th of March via Pond Life.
