With the winter season just around the corner, it’s fitting to turn our attention to the Finnish-German duo PLATRONiC, whose latest release, "Winter Stores", is a perfect soundtrack to this time of year. Known for their energetic and dynamic futurepop tracks, Kay Burden and Sami Some-E have delivered something entirely different this time—a heart-rending ballad steeped in melancholia and resilience.
Winter Stores is a hauntingly beautiful piece, blending the elegance of piano-driven composition with Kay's velvet-like, emotionally evocative vocals. Inspired by a powerful poem by Charlotte Brontë, the track is a poignant meditation on hope and endurance, reminding listeners of the beauty and strength found even in the darkest seasons.
The song’s arrangement is delicate yet impactful. Sami’s composition offers a minimalist, haunting piano background that allows Kay's voice to take center stage, wrapping the listener in warmth and introspection. The song’s tone is melancholic but not devoid of light, perfectly capturing the balance between fragility and strength, much like Brontë’s poetry.
This release is a departure from the duo's usual danceable tracks, showcasing their ability to craft emotionally complex and versatile music. While they’ve been influenced by acts like ABBA, Depeche Mode, and VNV Nation, Winter Stores feels uniquely their own, transcending genre boundaries to create something timeless.
PLATRONiC has been steadily gaining recognition, with accolades like nominations for "Best Electro Act" by Radio Wigwam and making multiple appearances in the German Alternative Charts. Their ability to innovate while staying true to their ethos of music that makes the heart beat faster is evident in this release.
For those who enjoy introspective ballads with a touch of dark elegance, Winter Stores is an essential listen this winter. It’s a track that invites you to dream, reflect, and find beauty even in the bleakest moments.
