Bōnd Of Endless Tree: Embracing Evolution with New Single “Drop”

Published

on

Bōnd Of Endless Tree, the musical project spearheaded by singer, songwriter, and producer Thiago Tolentino, has dropped his latest release, a new single titled “Drop,” which stands as a testament to his artistic journey and evolution. Tolentino, originally from Rio de Janeiro and now based in Los Angeles, has crafted a sound that merges alternative rock, pop, emo, and electronic influences. With “Drop,” he continues to push the boundaries of his creative expression.

The genesis of “Drop” traces back to Tolentino’s early days, where the initial spark of the song was ignited in his bedroom. His early excitement about the track was palpable, but as time passed and the demo was completed, Tolentino faced a sobering realisation: the result did not meet his expectations. Reflecting on this, he candidly admits, “I remember starting to write this song in my bedroom at my parents’ house, thinking, ‘Wow, this is awesome!’ Years later, I tried to produce it using the same original idea. When I finished the demo, I thought, ‘Man, this actually sucks.’ But I knew I had the core, I knew what I wanted to talk about and it was important to me.”

Despite these initial doubts, Tolentino’s commitment to the song never wavered. He embarked on a process of re-arrangement and refinement, allowing “Drop” to mature while staying true to its essential message. This perseverance and respect for the creative process underscore Tolentino’s dedication to his craft. “I’m glad I respected the time necessary to reach the final result,” he notes, highlighting the importance of patience in artistic development.

“Drop” embodies a blend of authenticity and growth, reflecting Bōnd Of Endless Tree’s ongoing evolution. The single promises to resonate deeply with listeners, offering a rich tapestry of introspective lyrics and emotive soundscapes. Tolentino’s music, characterised by its unique fusion of genres and deeply personal storytelling, invites listeners to connect with their own experiences of life, pain, and hope.

Through “Drop,” Bōnd Of Endless Tree continues to provide a meaningful and cathartic experience, encouraging audiences to find solace and inspiration. As Tolentino shares his personal journey through his music, he creates a space for listeners to explore their own emotions and experiences, fostering a sense of connection and healing.

With his latest release, Bōnd Of Endless Tree reaffirms his role as a powerful voice in contemporary music, blending introspective lyrics with a dynamic sound that speaks to the heart of the human experience. “Drop” is not just a song; it’s a chapter in Tolentino’s ongoing story of artistic growth and emotional depth.

Waz-u drops ambient gem ‘Vermillion’ ft. Lilyg

Published

on

London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.

Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’

‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.

Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
