EP Review: The Endorphins – 'Afterglow'
Picking up where debut EP ‘Sublime’ left off, Stockholm-based siblings The Endorphins share dreamy sophomore EP ‘Afterglow’.
From euphoric opener ‘Dead or Alive’ to gorgeous title track ‘Afterglow’, this EP thrills with intoxicating melodies, hypnotic beats and silky vocals. Whether they’re slowing it down with smooth R&B infused rhythms on standout track ‘Home’ or writing a heartfelt apology on emotive ‘Space Between Us’, The Endorphins have mastered the art of creating the most captivating soundscapes. ‘Afterglow’ is an absolute joy to listen to and its soaring choruses are positively addictive.
Talking about the record, The Endorphins explain: ”The EP is largely based on relationship experiences we’ve both been through. It’s very much a feel-good record. There are songs about falling in love, being unconditional with someone or wanting to get through something together. Every song has a hopeful meaning to it. The title summarizes the feeling of the record perfectly, it’s preferably played watching the afterglow skies while the city rises.”
