A brand-new single dropped from Westcreek delivers quite an intense soundscape that you can just get enveloped in as it unfolds because it's got these gigantic levels of intensity that come and go, especially when this track hits these massive choruses that come through so powerfully that you get stuck on them.
"I Stand" is a track that stays with you. It floats around in your brain forever, so you end up wanting to listen to this track more than a few times throughout your day, especially the first time you hear it.
This is a track that boasts a heavy-handed alternative rock sound but it's deepening. It's got a thickness to it and a heaviness not just musically but emotionally as well it feels like.
That's one of the things that grabs you about the track. The chorus of the song is melodic and kind of vast, so you get this expansive
You do get an expansive vibe and aesthetic coming from this track. A part of that has to do with some emotional drive that it brings forward.
You can tell that this is a track that simply came from someplace real. There is emotion even in the vocal delivery and you can hear hints of sullenness in the melody of the chorus even though it comes through powerfully.
I think this is because it is spirited and to be spirited like this, you have to battle through struggle. That's another thing with this track that you end up finding quite addicting. It's honest. Yes, you may want to listen to this more than once to catch all the lyrics of course, but it's got an honesty to it and that gives it a personality or character if you will.
So, you get little bits of relatability along with the intense and edgy, vast soundscape of the rock that emanates from this single and I think those two things being put together makes for something special.
The emotional aspect behind the track makes it relatable, and lets people connect with the song even more.
The tone of everything is spot on as well. The drums are just slamming throughout this track but it's the way they were recorded and mixed that makes everything sound so gigantic.
There are little bits of reverb on elements of the song like guitars at times, drums at times, and more.
This is one of those songs where you know whoever mixed it had the right idea or saw the vision of what the band was going for.
You know this because the aesthetic is right there in your face. It's a song you get engulfed in because it surrounds you. You get wrapped up in the tones and layers of this track easily and quickly.
Again, it is a heavy and alternative rock single, so it does hit hard. It's just that it also has these underbellies that give it more depth and certainly utilizes the element of tones and textures being brought together to build and create something that has that vastness to it which makes total sense for a track like this one.
At times there are layers of vocals, but they also feel slightly distanced at times. That's another thing I love about this mix. The vocals aren't blasting over the music. Instead, they are balanced dynamically with the music. They are more part of the song. They're just balanced so the vocals become almost like an instrument themselves, adding new layers to an already lush rock track.
I definitely love this approach because it's overtaking, especially if you're listening to it with headphones.
Dive into this track when you can and get engulfed in it because that's what it's meant for. By the second listen-through, you'll probably be singing along with the chorus, fists up in the air, and feeling the aesthetic.
Remember where you heard it first.
