Toronto artist blends dream pop and psychedelia on hypnotic new track
Toronto-based artist Noah Mroueh, the songwriter and artist behind ARK IDENTITY, has unveiled his latest single, “Atmosphere.” This track is a testament to Noah’s ability to craft immersive soundscapes, blending dream pop and psychedelia into a cohesive and emotive experience. As the artist explains, the track “symbolizes a wish to escape from the constant changes and pressures of life. The atmosphere serves as a metaphor for a place of freedom and detachment from society.”
Drawing from a wide array of influences, including Tame Impala and Bon Iver, Noah has developed a unique sound that is both introspective and expansive. “Atmosphere” encapsulates this style, guiding listeners through a journey of reflection and discovery. The song’s lyrics delve into themes of change and the longing for escape, with the atmosphere serving as a metaphor for freedom from societal pressures. Lines like “I really wanna float up into the atmosphere” resonate with a universal desire for liberation and detachment.
The song originated in 2016 during a 30-minute burst of creativity on Noah’s acoustic guitar. It wasn’t until a trip to California that he felt inspired to record it, leading to a joyful collaboration with producer Philippe. The result is a track that captures deep emotions in a powerful piece of leftfield indie bliss. You can give it a spin below:
