A dreamy ambient rock spell takes hold on “Waves,” the latest single from Norwegian trio Inuuro. Comprising three childhood friends, who founded the project in 2012, Inuuro succeed in consistently capturing soundscapes reflective of their locale — specifically, “some of the beautiful scenery we have here in the west of Norway.” They continue: “This song represents how we feel when we think of fjords, mountains, and the deep sea. We envision how the sun and sky collides, releasing an orange hue over the Norwegian landscapes.”
Playing as a continuation of their newest album Pacific Northwest, released earlier this year, “Waves” dazzles with its immediate atmospheric strengths. A post-rock introspection unveils initially, as glistening guitars and sturdy rhythmic additions build with enjoyable momentum into dreamy electronic textures; a luminous intrigue moves into more expressive guitar work as the one-minute turn approaches, making for an enveloping sound from the get-go.
Another memorable sequence shows at the two-minute mark, as pulsing guitars intensify into a rousing percussive burst into soaring guitars — feeling like an audible reflection of high-flying mountains, from a bird’s eye view. One can’t help but envision nature’s gorgeous, sprawling sights as this atmospheric rock gem from Inuuro unfolds with artful precision.
