Dolours’ “Blunt” Is A Visually Illuminating, Terrifically Refreshing Rush Of Hardcore Intensity, Orchestral Power, And Soaring Vocals
Channeling what feels like a whole new sound, Dolours really impressed us with the latest release of “Blunt.”
The grinding energy of the opening guitars creates an orchestral build that makes the sound feel visually illuminating. Intertwined and joining into this is a heavy but rhythmic bass that expands that feeling into a bold and powerful sensation. The alternating impact of the pounding drums feels like bombs going off on cue. The first seconds literally harness all your senses, and it's thrilling. Each instrument fully embodies and controls its space while contributing to a powerfully balanced soundscape. This song already has its own unique sound, and it was terrifically refreshing.
Dolours deliver a fearless and mesmerizing achievement with “Blunt,” blending hypnotic post-punk textures, explosive intensity, and unforgettable vocal power into one of the year's most captivating releases.
The vocal delivery choice sent us over the top and conjured an incredible feeling of falling that was just euphoric. Long-held, powerfully presented notes felt like works of art, matching the duality of this track. It's hardcore, it's intense, but its orchestral quality adds that premium style of masterfully crafted excellence, and it literally blew us away.
The addition of a chorus chant of "La La La" gives the song an almost indifferent, dismissive feel. This constant tension and release through its builds and chameleon-style changes made for an amazing experience. Post-punk fused with Darkwave then goes insane and hypnotic with a haunting and endless stream of guitars and vocals that you won't be able to get enough of.
“Blunt” by Dolours is a passionate and intensely crafted layered performance. The dedication to the craft, from the musicianship to the vocals, was so evident that this felt like nothing we had ever experienced before. This song makes our top 10 songs of the year, and we could not be more excited to have found Dolours.
Don’t miss “Blunt” by Dolours. We know it will capture you too.
