Medalye is ready to go worldwide as they release this highly anticipated project entitled “No Love Lost.” Currently making a scene in the industry is this Tel Aviv-based indie rock band that is set to unleash their sound to rock out the world of music. In this full-length album, Max Medalye, the band’s vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter, along with his bandmates Alexey Lermontov on bass and Alexandra Yeriklintseva on drums, successfully showcased their indie rock sound along with its connecting lyrics through stories of experiences from this band. No Love Lost will absolutely capture your heart.
From the outset, you will be musically hit by Medalye’s unique sound as they open their collection with the track “Darts & Cards (Awaiting Home)“. It opens with slow rock chords loaded with a blend of modern pop and soulful vocals and instrumentation from the band. It is honestly fresh to the ears. In addition to that, there are some personal favorites from the collection, which all featured the soulful voice of the talented singer-songwriter ÉMAREE, with whom the band had successfully collaborated. “Cold Fashion” and “Labyrinth Dream” are impeccable; they are classy and original, and capture the modern yet rock-infused music that the band has been influenced by. ÉMAREE has successfully added great qualities to these tracks, making them worthy of your full-time attention.
“Summer” comes in with its upbeat musicality, bringing a positive vibe to the collection as the track progressively rams up its hype through its hard-hitting drums that go along with an uplifting beat. “Ripples,” on the other hand, is a modern-sounding song that could pass as an official soundtrack for big sci-fi movies for its unique and mysterious nature. All these tracks are packed with the band’s authentic instrumentation as well as Max’s great vocal prowess, which collectively is the reason why this collection could be rated as top-notch.
“London Feeling” is a track that will remind you of the legendary band Queen as it gives you that classic high-class rock vibe with its guitar instrumentation and indie rock elements. It perfectly captured the familiar yet fresh sound of rock that we need these days. Other tracks featured in this collection are “Somebody Else’s House,” “Last Man On Earth,” “Days Are Gone,” “Just Another Day,” and “Burn Out.” These tracks highlight their collective experience through years in their lives, as well as their journey towards the pandemic, their life in Britain, and particularly their reflections on the challenges they face in a fast-changing world. Through these tracks, Medalye successfully talks about these overwhelming phases in their lives, underscoring their desire for connection and freedom in this chaotic and uncertain world.
Ultimately, I hear the potential for No Love Lost. Medalye has successfully showcased the firepower of their band through this eleven-track collection that offers a diverse set of genres packed into one album. From the instrumentation to the performance and the way it was written, it sure is compelling and can leave the listeners moved and uplifted through their music. It is authentic, it is fresh to the ears, and it is quite different from the current sounds invading the music scene, as the unique fuse of pop, indie rock, and electronica successfully complemented the blend for this release.
