Future Ghost brings this awesome piece of work “Wolves” to all the audience out there with a great vibe. “Wolves” is one of his latest releases, a colorful and ambient, easy-going beat backs up his characterful flow and approach to lyricism in a fitting way. The song offers a careful balance between the familiar and the fresh, offering both vibrancy and personality, the latter increasingly so, and it’s a strong introduction to the artist for those who are new to his music..
From the first few moments, I found myself in this, the musicianship and the leading vocal during those verses present a distinctly nostalgic (and authentically so) aura. The guitar work and the drums feel real and right there in the moment – something you miss occasionally in a world full of electronically sampled set-ups. In addition, the band’s leading vocalist seeks to passionately pour lyrics and melody into the song, in a partly slurred partly crisp rock and roll manner, seeming both gritty and carefree; inherently connected to the subject at hand, but naturally letting everything flow. It feels, early on, like the perfect song for this band to perform.
As things progressed I lost myself more and more in the track. The lyrics intrigue and create a set of images and ideas around you, simple but effective. Then you get to the hook, and it’s made or break in terms of holding tight to that initial energy and attraction. The chorus is as simple as can be, but the notes and the heightened levels of passion, all make for something that brilliantly resolves and satisfies; so much so that the repeat towards the end is completely entrancing and addictive as it pours out around you.
“Wolves” is an incredibly atmospheric piece of music with a notably emotional, soulful leading voice that softly but surely weaves its sentiments into your consciousness. Far more than a simple rock song with a predictable set-up, the track veers off down its own unexpected pathways, feeling partly inspired by the passionate meandering melodies of The Weeknd, partly feeling fresh from the hands of an experimental, well-experienced, and skillful producer. The balance is powerful, and at no point does either quality take away from the other. On the contrary, everything that pours through from the moment you press play compliments everything else that surrounds it.
