Elisha Marin - Shining Out
Minnesota based artist Elisha Andrew Marin is set to release his debut album titled "Shining Out"
The opening track to the record, Shining Out draws us in with slowly picked guitars that have vibrant, tranquil tones. Progressive indie drumming picks up the tempo and gallops into a calming rhythm. The vocals melt nicely into the track. Even in the chorus, Cold Water Swimmers keep a steady, peaceful rhythm with the vocals becoming more natural and separate from the instrumentation with added layers.
The subtle harmonies introduced from time to time add a quiet depth to the song, fulfilling the instrumentation side of the track. However the meaningful lyrics are the most beautiful element.
"Everybody loving their neighbour, no more gunning people down"
- This shows the artist has passion and love, which is key for becoming a successful artist!
Carried along almost solely by the harmonious elegance, the acoustic splendor of this track really is something to behold. It’s a track that never gets too high or too low, but instead drifts along as you get lost in its soothing rhythms, and before long it’s time to hit repeat… again. The more chilling elements in this track, namely the sombre instrumentals which her words sit atop, give it a distinctively eerie feel, but the undeniable sweetness which she carries in her voice lifts any drab feelings skyward.
