THE ELEGANT CHASERS
Just in case you're not the most familiar with the alt-rock sounds of The Elegant Chasers, let us be among the first to bring you up to date as a new release from the project just dropped and the song brings with it an honest approach and an expansive set of tones.
"The World Is Lost at Midnight" is a single that lets songwriter Marios Louizou talk about things that he's held on to for quite some time and that is incredibly relatable for too many people these days.
"THE WORLD IS LOST AT MIDNIGHT, a story going back to my late childhood where it all started to go wrong. A song that touches from personal experiences on the subjects of bullying & racism at school. Dreading the following day, I would instead get lost with music as a form of escapism, being the only way out for me in terms of my mental headspace! Armed with just an old Sony cassette player, headphones & a load of old-skool albums.
It was a time for this little boy to forget the world & his troubles... The thing is it did the trick as I always attended school the next day, never taking a day off however bad it got. That's a test of inner strength I suppose but the reality is I should have probably done the opposite. Moved schools / taken further action etc. But that is in hindsight. I was very naive and lacked self-confidence at the time. The working title actually was called "In My Room" as it was a place where I took solace" - Marios (The Elegant Chasers)
The track has a progressive rock arrangement and feel with guitars That span across the widths of the track itself and hint at a post-punk influence until the song finally explodes into a heavier-toned alternative rock chorus, and when that chorus comes to fruition, it feels huge.
This is truly a song that has a deeper meaning and that is still a very hot topic in today's society and it's important for songwriters and bands to touch on things like this because it can help someone that is being bullied or going through similar sort of struggle, not feel so alone perhaps.
If someone is going through something difficult and they hear a song that comes from that same perspective or displays the same emotion or feeling than it can help.
Marios is not only the songwriter of this project but performs many of the instruments and rights and ranges a lot of its material if not all of it.
There are many releases that you can hear from this project, and everything has an amazing drive.
We are giving this a 9 out of 10 for its honesty, arrangement and impactful rock approach.
