SONG OF THE DAY: AD MELIORA- NO YELLOW BRICKS

 


Stockholm-based alt-rockers AD MELIORA returns with the premiere of the video to the new single "No Yellow Bricks."

It is the first track since this year's debut EP The Void, The Time, The Path. 'No Yellow Bricks' is a melodic rock song about struggling to overcome doubt and depression to achieve one's personal goals. The quartet consists of experienced musicians from Spain, Italy and The Canary Islands. Ad Meliora combines alternative rock with math-rock elements and melodious passages.

The song opens with an alternate finger-picking guitar style that erupts explosively into a distorted riff. This repetition of the riff builds throughout the first verse, slowing towards the bridge. The tempo slows in between verses, as lead vocalist Paolo sings in a reflective tone. The passages are intricate and mellow, as the tempo builds to a climax. The song finishes with a return to the heavy riff that greeted the start of the track, which identifies vocalist Paolo Alabau screaming out all his frustrations. Drummer Ioan Ebbasta maintains a rhythmic drumming style. Guitarist Sergio Ortiz and bassist Abby Suarez build up some unusual arrangements that support the vocalist to sing openly.
