“Holler” is a haunting synth-forward track from Remedies, the third single release ahead of the Northern Norway-based duo’s album. The nostalgic tones and bristling synth-bass concoct vibes reminiscent of Depeche Mode, while the vocals showcase a uniquely powerful energy of their own. The enveloping synth arpeggio at 02:30 plays with an engrossing mystique. This track and the preceding “Psycho Scent” both show a commendable ability to construct hauntingly melodic soundscapes, fit for chilly, dark nights. Remedies have thus far succeeded with atmospheric and melodic smarts throughout their consuming songwriting and production.
