Menaura lifts into another stratosphere with their new single ‘Slumber’. A song to shake the lost.
Menaura – Slumber
Menaura is a London-based group who have been waving their musical wand since 2020.
‘Slumber’ is a track with all too real implications for the modern way of life. An ominous, ever-changing instrumental blend sets the backdrop for lyrics bathed in discomfort and power.
Lyrics dive into the uncomfortable reality that most face in the modern world – a distinct disassociation. Numbness controls the world of the protagonist, and social media drives the need for the outside world into the ground.
A hallmark of necessary music is the ability to blend the intention of the message with the sound produced. A wave of inescapable slumber is created through purposefully chosen rises and falls and a wall of musical bliss. I appreciate any artist who can captivate and educate an audience, especially when their piece succeeds in holding the listeners’ attention.
‘Slumber’ is the second of four planned releases that will culminate in Menaura’s debut album. Part of great artistry is tension building in the music itself and in its reveal. ‘Slumber’ builds perfectly on the first release ‘DRM (Dodgy Response Mechanism)’. Both songs exhibit elite craftsmanship.
The themes of self-exploration remain, and the shoegaze rhythms entrance us all. The length of time taken to create these transcendent tracks and the duration of the songs themselves further display the divine purpose of the band. These songs and this project have been made with nothing but the love, respect and passion required for making outstanding music.
I wait with great anticipation for their following releases and for what is sure to be an unforgettable album.
‘”Slumber solidifies Menaura as a musical juggernaut. A distinctly necessary piece of art.”
