Twilight Lounge – Nothing Never Ends (2024)
LA-based artist Twilight Lounge, the creative guise of multi-instrumentalist Noah Shaner, has returned with a captivating focus track ‘Nothing Never Ends’ from his new EP, Does It Make Sense Yet?. This latest offering is a striking exploration of the psychedelic realm perfectly showcasing Shaner’s diverse musical palette.
The track was born during a pivotal transitional period, shortly before Shaner relocated from Alabama to Los Angeles. Drawing on the essence of ’90s indie psychedelia ‘Nothing Never Ends’ intricately weaves together a rich tapestry of sound featuring jagged guitar riffs, cascading synths, and a rhythmic backbone that pulsates with insistent energy. The instrumentation feels both vibrant and expansive enveloping the listener in an effervescent sound collage that feels fresh yet familiar.
Shaner’s emotional delivery adds a profound layer to the experience as his vocals glide effortlessly over the complex arrangement. The lyrics resonate with a sense of nostalgia and existential contemplation encapsulating wide-eyed reflections on life and love. Shaner himself describes the track as “a love letter” and a realisation of personal empowerment – “Nothing changes unless you change something”. This duality is at the heart of the song striking a balance between intimate vulnerability and universal truths.
Musically, ‘Nothing Never Ends’ is a testament to Shaner’s growth as an artist. The song oscillates between a hard-hitting chorus and introspective verses creating a dynamic listening experience that reflects a kaleidoscopic array of influences. While it retains the signature elements of his earlier work, this track illustrates a deeper exploration of sound and emotion marking a significant step in his artistic evolution.
With ‘Does It Make Sense Yet?’, now available on all major streaming platforms, listeners are invited to embark on an immersive journey through Twilight Lounge’s vibrant sonic landscape. ‘Nothing Never Ends’ stands as a compelling testament to Shaner’s artistry, a track that beckons for repeated listens and offers new layers with each spin.
