Our Love Is Music by The Screaming Pope has otherworldly, ambient landscapes pulsating with soft beats, creating an ethereal atmosphere that’s both captivating and soothing.
The album opener of the same name, “Our Love Is Music,” establishes relaxing melodies flowing beneath glitzy beats. The vocals, reverbed and echoing, are quiet and ambient. What makes the voice so intriguing is that it is so tender and emotive that it casts a charismatic spell, making you want to fall into the music. A standout lyric, “our love is all the music that went off course,” hints at a journey of love that might have taken unexpected turns.
One stand-out track, “Love Penitentiary,” unfolds like a suspenseful cinematic piece, building up with deep vocals soaked in thickness. The singer’s resonant and rich voice adds to the intensity, especially when he passionately sings with a rising range, “I am locked up/Can somebody save me?” The brooding, consistent music creates an unnerving suspense throughout the song, making it irresistibly contagious.
Closing the album with the 15th track, “Opening New Doors,” introduces glitchy textures and ambient, liquid noises in the backdrop. The keys play softly as the singer delivers the poignant line, “I am not with you, but I feel so much better than before, and I can seem to open up new doors.” The poetic structure of the lyrics adds a literary and classic touch to the song, leaving listeners with a sense of reflection and renewal.
If you’re ready for a musical journey that transcends traditional genres, Our Love Is Music is your ticket to ambient bliss.
