The new single “Off The Lanterns” from Avenues is like walking into a dreamscape where the real and the surreal come together — and you don’t want to leave.
On the most ethereal soundscapes and entrancing vocal delivery, Avenues create an eerie and comforting atmosphere. “Off The Lanterns” feels like the music of an after-midnight stroll, all the illumination provided by recollection and fantasy. The song’s tempo is slow, almost meditative, luring listeners into its world, but slowly.
There’s an emotional tension beneath the surface, as if something is being released, fear, regret, or the weight of the past. Though the lyrics don’t lay it all out, their poetic vagueness facilitates interpretation, allowing listeners to inscribe their narrative onto the song.
Avenues is unafraid to venture into uncharted sonic waters. From skittering and glitchy synths to ethereal ambient textures, subtle woodwind strokes, and layers of percussive buzz, “Off The Lanterns” balances restraint with innovation. It’s as much a vibe as a song, but it hits, make no mistake.
In a world where everyone’s always rushing to the hook, Avenues asks us to breathe, float, and feel. “Off The Lanterns” is a slow burn that has tremendous staying power. It is a song you’ll return to when you want to escape, even just for one minute.
