“Obsessed with the way this number just continues to build – the gears continue to increase, hitting the pedal and letting loose at the end!” 4 / 5 (Anika Luna, Triple J Unearthed) [About ‘Lost Dream’]

Manorism, the indie dream pop and heartland outfit hailing from Melbourne (Naarm), Australia, introduces their latest single, ‘Sober’. This stirring single offers up a melancholic yet euphoric sonic experience that delves deep into the realm of relationships and emotions.
Manorism’s journey has been marked by significant accomplishments, as they’ve carved their place in Melbourne’s coveted underground scene with a number of singles and an EP under their belts. As a collective of first and second-generation immigrants, a shared story of self-discovery defines their songwriting with influences spanning from early 2000s punk to the 2010s indie rock new wave revival, ultimately making their music a diverse palette of sounds and emotions.
Known for this introspective artistry and rich sonic approach, ‘Sober’ encapsulates the bittersweet journey of a relationship’s end that’s a mixed bag of heartbreak and hope. Frontman Shantanu Joshi sums up the themes behind ‘Sober’: “Sober is about the release of emotions, particularly how freeing it can be when gaining clarity in the aftermath of a difficult relationship. In the context of the song, sobriety is about waking up from an emotional whirlwind.”

Bursting with shimmering guitars wrapped in reverb, accompanied by laidback drums, ethereal synths, and the soothing vocals of frontman Shantanu, ‘Sober’ has emotions running high. At times feeling vibrant and hopeful, it is a reflection on the past as it embraces the future with open arms. The intense fusion of melancholy and euphoria is induced with layers of guitars and synths, creating a lush instrumental crescendo during the extended outro.
This vivid pallet of sounds makes for an absolutely stunning live performance, which can be caught when they launch the single at Melbourne’s Gasometer on Frida
Sober up with Manorism as they navigate the complexities of human relationships and emotions in this gorgeous single.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
