Coming with their latest single, “Vertical” by Arliston, who are UK-based indie rock duo. Jack Ratcliffe and George Hasbury, the duo behind the band. They make expansive and unique music and are celebrated for their ability to merge powerful lyrics with rich sounds. Having a knack for engaging their listeners and catching their attention through their songs, Arliston has already proved this in their previous hit, “Monks of Lindisfarne.” Right now they are raising the bars even higher with their new single, “Vertical.” This single is all about how they combine strong vocals with the musical instruments, making us dive deep into the depths of personal struggle and growth. It highlights their ability to blend intense emotions with complex music, offering a fresh perspective on their evolving sound.
“A mindful blend of introspective lyrics with energetic music which is a whole-package in itself, so go now and listen to Arliston’s ‘Vertical’”
The song “Vertical” starts with touching vocals and soft piano, slowly adding drum beats as it goes. Blending quiet and reflective moments with emotional peaks. George Hasbury shared that they enjoyed playing around with drum samples during the recording process. Sam Catchpole then took those samples and turned them into the standout drum rhythm of the song. The song’s energy gets a boost from a surprising but perfect guitar solo, giving Arliston’s sound a fresh twist. Much like their earlier songs, this track explores the emotional ups and downs of young adulthood, using “vertical” as a metaphor for tough challenges that seem impossible to overcome. Even though the song starts off with a sense of sadness, it wraps up on a positive note, showing how one can bounce back and move on from past difficulties.
