Tracklist
- One More Night
- Release Me (ft. Gallie Fisher)
- On My Own (ft. Satellite Empire)
- Never Change (ft. Gallie Fisher)
- Feels Right (ft. RUNN)
Ahead of the release, Crystal Skies shared a heart-felt note alongside a video of their Red Rocks performance.
Constellations
‘Constellations’ kicks off with ‘One More Night’ showcasing uplifting, catchy and ethereal tones. In many ways, the melodic essence seems to nod towards a classic sounding tone over fresher sounds. Reaching the chorus, it hits on bright, layered pitchy synths and vocal chops while bringing diversity to the second iteration by intensifying the percussion and kicks. From there, ‘Release Me’ renders Gallie’s lull vocals around ambient pads and consistent snappy percussion. The track evidently shows itself to be a quieter tone on the body of work.
Onward, ‘On My Own’ featuring Satellite Empire takes a different approach to what essentially feels like the first track’s format. From centering around plucky melodies, risers, the vocals and choppy patterns in the chorus. However, it differentiates itself by having a notably calmer and darker atmosphere with a unique melody. Prevailing as a favorite, ‘Never Change’ with Gallie grasps a very catchy tune. Part of what stood out was the melodic bubbling chorus that catches on so well by how the section cuts through. Beyond that, it incorporates a more hard-hitting section with heavier bass. Concluding, ‘Feels Right’ featuring RUNN plays on hushed sliding guitar notes on the verse. This accumulates to an ethereal and heavily padded finale taking notes from each preceding track.
Shows
Crystal Skies currently have a few shows lined up heading towards the end of the year. Specifically, they’re joining Seven Lions in a show and two Ophelia Records showcases. Hopefully, this propels their recognition pitting them alongside Jason Ross, MITIS, DIMIBO, and more. You can follow along with their performance dates, buy tickets and reach them here.
