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

Etherdene’s “Forsaker” Captures the Power of Letting Go

Etherdene’s ‘Forsaker’ is a revelation in both sound and sentiment. The track marks a new chapter in her career, blending the vulnerability of heartbreak with the resilience of moving on, all wrapped in an electrifying package of synth-pop and indie-pop. The result is a song that is both deeply personal and universally relatable, a cathartic journey that encourages listeners to let go and rise above their challenges.
At the heart of ‘Forsaker’ is Etherdene’s exploration of emotional struggle and the painful yet liberating act of letting go. Drawing from her own experiences with the end of a professional partnership, Etherdene’s lyrics are a raw and powerful expression of inner conflict. The line, “Brand new member in the club of quitters, the uniform compliments my eyes,” encapsulates the complex emotions of giving up, flipping the narrative on its head to reveal the strength in choosing to walk away.
‘Forsaker’ is a triumph. Etherdene’s decision to incorporate synth bass arps brings an air of 80s nostalgia while keeping the track fresh and forward-thinking. The electric guitar work from Cory Clark adds a layer of dynamism to the song, complementing its mood perfectly. However, it’s the drums – played by Warren van Wyk – that truly elevate the track, infusing it with energy and warmth that feels almost magical.
What sets ‘Forsaker’ apart is its empowering message. Etherdene isn’t merely recounting a painful experience; she’s showing us the strength that comes from letting go of something that no longer serves you. It’s a message of courage and self-love, encouraging listeners to prioritize their emotional well-being over the fear of walking away from something that seems promising but ultimately isn’t right.
‘Forsaker’ is yet another example of Etherdene’s impressive versatility as an artist. From her early days in the Afrikaans band Kaktus to her current solo career, she has continually pushed the boundaries of what indie-pop can be. With ‘Forsaker’, she’s taken an emotional experience and turned it into a musical triumph that’s as empowering as it is catchy. This track is bound to resonate with anyone who’s ever had to make the difficult decision to walk away – and Etherdene’s ability to capture that moment in song is nothing short of remarkable.
