One Soul's Story Captures Omnesia’s Earthy and Spacious Sound
At the end of last year, I stumbled upon a raw and gritty tune called Dangle. Courtesy of Omnesia, a California-based duo comprised of Medella Kingston (vocals) and M2 (guitarist/producer), the swaggering "funk metal disco" track really struck a chord.
Since then, Omnesia have released three more singles: Dirty Love, Heroes + Legends, and One Soul's Story. Each deserves your attention, but today, I'd like to hone in on One Soul's Story, their latest sonic chapter.
A sharp and intriguing auditory shift compared to Dangle, One Soul's Story unveils a softer and warmer side to Omnesia's sound. It has a timeless, vintage feel coursing through its veins, as it floats between styles and textures with a beautiful disregard for neat labels or tidy genre boxes.
Recorded in a large community warehouse, One Soul's Story soaks up the character of its environment. That big, open space with brick walls has given the song an earthy and spacious glow. Add to that the fact that it was recorded live, with no click track, and captured in a single take, and you begin to understand why the tune "feels" the way it does.
Accompanying the duo's new release is a wonderfully old-school and trippy music video, and we are stoked to share it with you today!
