Eventstellar’s “Redemption” marks a new moment in the band’s evolution, diving deeper into emotional and introspective themes. Released on February 20, 2017, through Stormwind Music International, the single features three tracks that explore love, loss, and the journey to self-understanding. Produced by Einar Einarsson and mixed and mastered by Michael Nikou at Mic Nix Studios in Adelaide, Australia, Redemption blends soft rock with lo-fi elements, creating a unique sound that complements its deep, often melancholic tone.
The tracks on Redemption cover a wide emotional range. Yosiahou explores themes of self-destruction and redemption, offering a poignant reflection on the struggles of someone whose life has been derailed by their own choices. It hints at the bitter consequences of a fall from grace, softly acknowledging the desire for absolution without directly confronting the darker aspects of the story. The track resonates with those questioning their path, searching for a way out of the shadows.
Nigh Uncatchable, a playful and cheeky song, shifts gears with its infectious rhythm and Jack Sparrow-inspired lyrics. The song is a lighthearted exploration of unattainable love, with its catchy refrain of “Nigh uncatchable” repeating throughout. It’s a mix of longing and humor, providing a contrast to the heavier tracks and adding a sense of balance to the release.
The final track, Snow’s Sad Song, adds another layer of depth, touching on themes of loss and the emotional repercussions of decisions made in haste. A melancholic ballad, it is dedicated to a heartbreaking and personal experience, framed within the broader theme of redemption. The lyrics convey sorrow and regret, offering a stark look at the pain caused by irreversible actions.
