Umbra and the Volcan Siege, the brainchild of Jim Licka since 2006, recently unveiled their latest single, "Making The Moves," a track that conjures a psychedelic reverie akin to a nostalgic jaunt through a bygone Las Vegas hotel.
From the onset, the song immerses you in a swirling haze, anchored by a bass that morphs seamlessly with synth undertones and punctuated by assertive drumming. When the vocals cut through, there’s an electrifying urgency, propelling the track into a gritty, energetic territory. The chorus stands out with its monolithic, almost monotone vocal delivery, lending a weighty yet hypnotic resonance.
Despite its hard-hitting demeanor, there’s an unexpected softness interwoven through the layers, creating a dynamic and compelling contrast. "Making The Moves" is a distinctive blend of organic and electronic textures, showcasing Umbra and the Volcan Siege's signature sound. As a newcomer to their music, I found myself thoroughly impressed, eager to dive deeper into their discography and see where they go from here.
