A lush yet impactful sound persists on “Prayer Cards,” a recent single from Trivial Shields. The artist caught our ears over a decade ago, with debut single “Camelot,” and continues to impress with mood-packed songs full of melodic, climactic developments. Initially an unfinished songs, “Prayer Cards” was finished during the pandemic, and the result is strongly memorable.
“Yes, I’ve got the cards to show you,” the vocals let out with suave immersion, alongside sporadic guitar swipes and trickling synth elements. The bass-y verses that precede build with ample intrigue, with the “I know now, I can’t tell,” haunting rise building enjoyably into the central hook. “Prayer Cards” is an atmospheric, moody success from Trivial Shields.
“Prayer Cards” represents the final of three songs on an upcoming EP, Here The Past Is All I See, out next month.
