Passionate rock and dreamy contemplation intertwine on the riveting new track “Detached,” coming via Must Ruut. The Tallinn, Estonia-based band originally wrote the song in 2019, and it has evolved through lineup changes — bringing forth new ideas and instruments. Throughout it all, “Detached” succeeds as a melodic listening experience that artfully explores the process of “letting go of something or someone.”
“Detached” fully stirs in both serene introspection and harder-rocking fervency. “How far do you think you can make it?” the gripping vocals let out, complement by a beautiful contrast between gritty guitar distortion and lushly twinkling keys. A dreamily inviting charm shows upon the additional vocal backing’s emergence, and further propelled by the blissful piano sequence rounding the two-minute turn. The ensuing “last night,” sequence brings it all together for a satiating send-off. “Everything is not what it seems,” the vocals meld with guitars and piano there, ending with an atmospheric finality.
