Quells’ “Ice Temple” release is a full-bodied, instrumental journey that invites listeners into a world of sound, reflection, and movement. This indie-psychedelic song mixes dramatic arrangements with a dreamlike energy that sounds familiar and refreshingly different.
“Ice Temple” establishes an immersive atmosphere, damping vibrant instrumentation that flows like a dreamscape. With lines articulated with powerful restraint, the song even provides a pathway with a whirl of melodies folding in on themselves, leaving sufficient space for the listener to lose themselves. A seamless blend of undulating rhythms and exciting melodies, the Quells’ track is a perfect record.
The best quality of “Ice Temple” is how it never gets stuck in traditional song structures, providing an experience that is a ride through sound. There are moments of contemplation, where the melodies drift through the cosmos, before returning to an energetic rhythmic explosion that traps the listener back into groove land.
