Joost Laméris – Never Feels Real
“The new single -Joost Laméris- translates into the world a reflection of emptiness in his soul, when the one who was dear to you left a piece of you. Whatever the melancholy text, light and heat are reflected in the music, and a slight share of hope for the best is glowing in the voice.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Новый сингл -Joost Laméris- транслирует в мир отражение пустоты в его душе, когда частичку вас покинул тот, кто был вам дорог. Каким бы не был меланхоличным текст, в музыке отражены свет и тепло, а в голосе теплится лёгкая доля надежды на лучшее.”

‘Never Feels Real’ releases on July 15th as the third single of a series of music releases by independent Dutch singer-songwriter Joost Laméris. It’s a dreamy atmospheric indie/chillpop song capturing the feeling of emptiness once leaving a toxic relationship. It is released after his last single ‘Falling Apart’ that has been streamed over 10k times, with a music video that’s been viewed over 28k times, and got recognition through Spotify editorial playlists, radio and other media outlets.
‘Never Feels Real’ is a symbolic expression of the emptiness that follows once leaving a toxic relationship that you’ve grown accustomed to. “After getting out of a toxic relationship, whether friendly or romantically, I think one can be left with a lot of uncertain feelings. You can get so absorbed in these situations that you slightly lose yourself. At the same time, when you’re in that relationship it can feel like it’s your comfort zone. That makes it very hard to leave”, explains Joost Laméris. “Once I got out of a toxic relationship, or at least what was toxic for me, I was left uncertain but also determined. I knew exactly that I had to get out of that situation and I wanted Never Feels Real to describe both this uncertainty and determination.”
Through atmospheric sounds combined with mellow chillpop influences and symbolic lyrics referring to nature, the listener is stimulated to paint a natural scene in their minds. The song is meant to help listeners dream and escape their reality.
The artwork of ‘Never Feels Real’ is shot by Dutch photographer Suus Waijers with hair and make up by Séra Conté. It shows a silhouette of Joost with subtle lighting to partially show some features. It symbolically shows that after leaving a toxic relationship Joost slowly uncovered and found himself again.
Joost Laméris is excited to share more of his thoughts and views on his life experiences through more music. Later this year Joost will drop the first few songs of his debut EP along with various music videos. Joost is also planning to do live performances in the coming months to promote his singles and EP.

Jack in Water – The Time of One French Indie Film
“Here is the minimalist melody of the piano and voice -jack in water-, which are only occasionally diluted with textures against the background. This beauty can be compared with smooth, like a mirror, the surface of the lake, which sometimes shudders from the dandelion falling onto the water surface. Greatness, as it is.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Перед вами минималистичная мелодия фортепиано и голос -Jack in Water-, которые лишь изредка разбавляются текстурами на фоне. Эту красоту можно сравнить с гладкой, как зеркало поверхностью озера, которое иногда содрогается от падающих на водную гладь одуванчиков. Великолепие, как оно есть.”

Vera Vinter x Hanna Ekström – Drööman
“Music came to us from other worlds to help to realize our nature and gain freedom from iron shackles on our wrists. An incredible, atmospheric representation in which the instrumental indie folk melody and extraterrestrial voice draw mystical worlds in our subconscious.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Музыка пришедшая к нам из других миров, чтобы помочь осознать свою природу и обрести свободу от железных оков на наших запястьях. Невероятное, атмосферное представление, в котором инструментальная Indie Folk мелодия и внеземной голос рисуют мистические миры в нашем подсознании.”
-Nagamag.com
Drööman is the second single from artist Vera Vinter and violinist Hanna Ekström's upcoming full-length album. A song that breathes Nordic folk tone with lyrics in extinct dialect in Kalixmål.
The idea for the song comes from an audio recording that the artists stumbled upon doing research about traditional folk music meeting “Vevgrammofonstämman” in Norn, Dalarna. On the recording you can hear an old man speaking about lost dreams and chances he never took. The song is an homage to sawmills, farming communities, forestry and mining places around the world.
The gentle mixture of field recordings, warm voice, acoustic guitar, samples and fate-saturated Mono / Poly, symbolizes a call to listen inwards.The lyrics in extinct dialect Kalixmål gives the words a secret character that makes the music free to experience in one's own inner rhythm.

Constance – In Madness
“This sincere and deepest in its essence Indie Pop with a filled with high -quality and clinging the soul of melodic tones. The vocals gives the song completeness, excitement with fantasy with its strong energy and charisma!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Этот душевный и глубочайший по сути своей Indie Pop с наполненным качественными и цепляющих душу мелодичных тонов. Вокал придаёт песне завершённости, будоража фантазию своей сильной энергетикой и харизмой!”

In Madness is a raw and emotional ballad that will leave you feeling everything all at once. With beautiful piano cocooned in cinematic storytelling and a sentimental vocal, Constance tells your whole life story in a song.
‘I wrote “In Madness” with Ronny Janssen while he was down visiting Los Angeles. It was our first time meeting and writing together but it really felt like one of those fated moments where all the pieces just came together and the song wrote itself.
When we wrote this song back in March, I was completely consumed and heartbroken with the invasion and war in Ukraine. It was very surreal watching ordinary civilians train how to fight and defend themselves - young and old, some teachers, some lawyers, just regular men and women who had never held a gun in their life and suddenly being forced into the position they’re in now - It is truly unfathomable. There is no silver-lining on war and loss of life but the bravery and strength that the Ukrainian people have shown is an inspiration for the world.
“In love and in madness, in strength and in sadness” to me is the oxymoron that is the human experience and the strength of the human will to love. Even in times of darkness there is always light on the horizon and it is important for us to not lose sight of it.’

“Вернитесь в 1984 год и почувствуйте, как ваши глаза обжигает неоновый свет разноцветных витрин, а на закате оранжевое солнце разрезает горизонт своими острыми и обжигающими как лезвие лучами. Шикарный Synthwave и потрясающая воображение ностальгия.”
