Get ready for a shot of indie-rock sunshine with Lounna‘s upcoming single, “Alpenglow.” This Pittsburgh songstress, aka Brenna Slate, is serving up a melody that’s both hauntingly beautiful and undeniably uplifting.
“Alpenglow” takes its inspiration from the natural phenomenon of the same name – that rosy light that paints the mountains after sunset. It’s a fitting image for the song’s theme: revisiting a past love through a lens of acceptance and bittersweet nostalgia.
Right from the opening notes, you’ll be hooked by the banjo’s twangy charm. It sets the scene for a sonic journey that’s both folky warmth and indie rock grit. Lounna’s vocals are pure magic, soaring effortlessly over the instrumentation. She delivers the lyrics with a heartfelt sincerity that will resonate with anyone who’s ever looked back on a love that’s faded.
The beauty of “Alpenglow” lies in its ability to find beauty in the bittersweet. The song acknowledges the pain of a lost love, but it also celebrates the precious memories and the growth it brought. It’s a reminder that sometimes heartbreak, like the alpenglow, can paint our past in a beautiful, albeit temporary, light.
This single is a clear sign of Lounna’s artistic evolution. With “Alpenglow,” she builds upon the foundation laid by her debut record, “When I’m Home (Again),” while incorporating a fresh indie rock edge with the banjo’s inclusion. It affirms her songwriting prowess and her ability to weave relatable stories into captivating melodies.
Mark your calendars for September 20th, because Lounna’s “Alpenglow” is a must-add to your playlist. It’s the perfect soundtrack for a road trip with friends, a bonfire under the stars, or simply getting lost in a world of beautiful music and bittersweet memories.
