Statues Debuts with Dream Pop Gem "Time Down Here"

Electronic duo Statues, from Portland, OR, makes an impressive introduction to the world with the release of "Time Down Here." Statues are two decades in with a friendship that has involved countless late-night hangouts, jam sessions, and nights out. Statues creates a unique blend of atmospheric, cinematic dream pop, which is instrumental and infused with pulsing synths and ethereal vocals. This ambient, slow, climactic build showcases the essence of authentic patience, yearning, and reshaping.

The slow, intentional restraint of "Time Down Here" is a carefully constructed obstacle for the band that builds the tension until it creates a hypnotic and danceable climax. The duo is certainly influenced by the origins of dream pop with artists; The Tough Alliance, French 79, and Beach House all being artists in this lineage. The duo's sound is expressed through the exploration of simple looped vocals, an array of synths that create layers of sound in nostalgia, anticipation, and exuberance. The immersive atmosphere of the sound expands the feel of the song, which is further complemented by an all-at-home basement studio recording process. 

The song's perspective is based on individual thresholds of loss, healing, and slow steps toward progress. Statues beautifully takes the tension of holding on and the eventual catharsis of letting go and creates not only a debut, but also a document of persistence and emotional rebirth, embodied in "Time Down Here".
