A New and Cinematic Single from ET Boys

A new track released from ET Boys just dropped, and this one has a unique approach to blending genres almost seamlessly by bringing in this dreamlike undertone and vastness, along with an incredibly cinematic feel and aesthetic, all while keeping to this sort of heavy-handed hip-hop approach and adding rock guitars into the soundscape to come across more intensely, and it all works amazingly.

Now, if you're not too familiar with ET Boys, these guys are brothers who are pretty much known for having their own take on music creation by taking their own approach to bending genres, as they see fit.

Their tracks tend to have elements of rock, pop, hip hop, R&B, dream pop, and more, and this track is absolutely no exception.

The beauty of groups like this is that you begin to expect the unexpected after you've heard a few tracks. They follow no social norms in terms of what people may expect to hear musically, what songs may be about, or how the production may take shape in terms of their sound.

They produce songs that feel good to them, and this lets the songs completely vary depending on where they're at or how they're feeling.

The new track is called "Woe Am I", and it starts with vocals and this sort of 80s vintage synth-pop style set of keys. I love this because right off the bat, you get that cinematic flow happening, and you're also starting to pay attention to the lyrics straight away because it's stripped down to just those keys and the vocals to start with.

The vocals have this great melodic up to them and are performed uniquely, and then suddenly, a lot more starts happening. A beat kicks in, guitars come in, and more vocals are layered on top.

This is showcasing part of how the duo write their songs. The dynamic of layering and texture blending is an important part of how they put their songs together, and it works because it gives songs like this a unique flow and builds into those higher, more climatic elements of intensity for those choruses.

The beat is heavy-handed and kind of edgy; the guitars also add more edginess. The guitars are distorted and have a rock feel to them, which blends perfectly with the beat, and the vocals all have this R&B flow and style.

Again, all this manages to come together seamlessly and all makes absolute perfect sense, fitting together like puzzle pieces.

This was an outstanding track that speaks volumes for this duo simply because not only does it give you plenty of that cinematic and emotional pull, but it also has that spacious and atmospheric production style that pulls you into the song even further.

The music sets the mood for the sentiment of the song, and it's amazingly done from start to finish. You can tell there was a lot of thought that went into how the song would play out, its arrangement, and its composition, because it all shows.

Later in the track, you have more vocals laying in different melodies, and the whole thing is a story with a beginning, middle, and end. It is a chapter in a book, and if you listen carefully, it's a pretty engaging one.

You can hear a lot of that raw emotion and how the vocals are performed, but also in the music itself.

The keys that I mentioned at the start of the song stay throughout the entire thing, so that when the song exhales back down, you remember where it started.

I found that impressive as well. Just the way that they brought things back to the way they felt in the beginning of the song.

This obviously came from some authentic place that has a bit of depth, and they certainly didn't hold much back in the way of letting a lot of that out for everyone to take in.

This is one of the more cinematic and almost theatrical songs that I've heard from the guys, and it's one of my favorite tracks released from ET Boys to date.

Now, if you dig this track, then I highly suggest digging through their back catalog because they have a lot of awesome tracks that again, mix and blend genres from pop, to hip hop, to rock, and do it all with their own unique approach.

Songs like "Ritual", also released this year, showcase a bit of a different side of how they do their thing, but still showcase that staple or formula that they go by.

Then there's songs like "Far Away", that have way more of a synth pop sort of vibe, utilizing amazingly classic since to drive the song, heavy beats that are more house oriented, and vocals with a bit more energy and Swagger to them.

As I mentioned before, these guys go with their own flow. By doing so, they end up with a diverse set of tracks that have been dropped, and a lot of them have tons to offer, so again, I suggest listening back to their catalog, especially if you dig this track.

Take a deep dive into the world of ET Boys and remember where you heard it first.
