The intersection between bubbles and melancholy - <a href="spotify:artist:1su3Bbxte8zXQvCH8UZozc" data-name="Montesque">Montesque</a> is waiting for you. Montesque (pronounced ‘mont-es-kew’) is an Euro-Australasian artist specialising in Synthpop, retrowave and atmospheric, brooding tracks.
His artist brand is 'Bubbles and Melancholy'. The music that has always had the biggest impact on him was dual edged - tracks that are joyful, vibrant but with a tinge of sadness at the same time. You know that song that somehow sets off a restless spark within. Think 'Video Games' 'Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime' or 'Chasing Pavements'. A lot of his tracks have this sweet melancholy aspect at the core. Montesque’s music flirts with many genres from funk to classical to synthwave and even nu-disco. Not surprising - considering musical influences are anything from <a href="spotify:artist:1P6U1dCeHxPui5pIrGmndZ" data-name="Air">Air</a> to <a href="spotify:artist:36QJpDe2go2KgaRleHCDTp" data-name="Led Zeppelin">Led Zeppelin</a> to <a href="spotify:artist:762310PdDnwsDxAQxzQkfX" data-name="Depeche Mode">Depeche Mode</a> to <a href="spotify:artist:3fhOTtm0LBJ3Ojn4hIljLo" data-name="Roxy Music">Roxy Music</a>.
His first single 'Loop' is like someone threw <a href="spotify:artist:0LcJLqbBmaGUft1e9Mm8HV" data-name="ABBA">ABBA</a> <a href="spotify:artist:4tZwfgrHOc3mvqYlEYSvVi" data-name="Daft Punk">Daft Punk</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:53A0W3U0s8diEn9RhXQhVz" data-name="Keane">Keane</a> in a blender. 'Its Like a Telephone Singing' is a genre bender/blender fusing funk with classical elements and vaporwave. ‘Darkstone’ is a synth infused ‘requiem’ which poses the question -what would your life’s curtain call sound like? It is inspired by the atmosphere created by David Lynch’s cinematic world and could be ‘Twin Peaks meets Beethoven”.
'Firedance' released Jan 2020 fuses warm early analog synth pads with a playful 'samba-like' motif with edgy metallic keys. Evolving bass riffs and a vintage power chord finale hint at early EDM imagery.
