As you hear the pitter-patter of More Than This by Eden Dawn you realize that what you hear is the future of indie music. Eden has her own distinctive way of making her music. Most of her stuff is experimental and dream-pop. There is a quality of wonder that she sprinkles into her work that makes her music all the more delicious. This track in particular is peculiarly hypnotic.
She draws us in with a slow beat structure that slowly develops to larger yet soft tones. The music is incredibly flowy, you feel like a nymph frolicking in a Greek garden. If you let the song play on repeat, you won’t know when the song begins and ends. Right from the start, she hits your heart with a tranquilizer that drains your head of all thoughts. It’s just you and the music once you hit that play button. She creates this world that is filled with synth and dream-scented pop that just fills your body until you are floating, lighter than air. Although her writing is a lot more serious, she sweetens it with airy notes.Â
The dream quality in the song makes it the perfect fit for a story like Alice In Wonderland. That is if it were set in today’s time with a pinch of punk-jazz-pop. Eden Dawn has the ability to sway you away with the swish of her hand. So clear your schedule and click on the links attached above, cause you’re about to get lost in some top-tier music.
