Mono Mochi - “How It Ends”

From Switzerland, indie band Mono Mochi arrive on our blog with the remarkably dreamy offering of “How It Ends.”

The track opens to the sweet sounds of ultra vibey and reverberating guitar chords, laying down a gentle and shimmering foundation and setting a contemplative mood. The vocal performance begins, matching the dreamlike state of the arrangement and drawing the listener into its rich and vibrant sound.

It is not long before the pulse of a vintage-tinged bass is dispatched, allowing “How It Ends” to burst to life, complete with a steady rhythm that will have your soul swaying in no time. The production beholds a lo-fi charm, yet manages to possess a modern heft that will surely keep you coming back for multiple listens.

And if that doesn’t do it for you, wait until you catch an earful of the falsetto on the hook. The lyrics appear to have been carefully utilized to ensure that anyone who hears this track will be singing along by the time the second chorus arrives. And to fill your plate with ear candy, a tasty guitar solo has been placed on the final third, allowing music lovers to drift away via its psychedelically-instilled magnificence.

About the song, drummer Simon Hefner adds: “How It Ends” is an ambivalent song: social criticism, a calm, disturbed outcry and encouragement at the same time. It is aimed at all burnt-out, fearful and hopeful people who have found their way through this time despite all adversity. We feel you!”

How It Ends” is one sexy beast of a dream pop tune and we anticipate that you will fall under its spell as soon as you press the play button. The track arrives just ahead of Mono Mochi’s debut album, Oh Elsa!, due out at the end this month. Connect with the band: Spotify | Instagram | Apple | YouTube | Bandcamp
