Meet The Music
‘LANDMINE’
‘Landmine’ is a single by Lee McAdams and produced by lonlioni. The title in itself gives you a preview of the soul of this track. It hints at vulnerability and an unpredictable intensity, which are evident in the song’s structure and tone.
The track starts with one of the grooviest hooks you’ll have heard recently. Starting with a smooth groove and foreboding narration, building into a boom of bass that transitions us into a melodic beat with an occasional electric drop that gives the song its character and keeps us interested. The song is dynamic with abundant transitions that border on genre-bending.
Also lyrically profound, ‘Landmine’ boasts a sonic ebb and flow that reflects the song’s meaning as if walking through a field with unexpected landmines. Pun intended. The musical emotion and contrast don’t hit you all at once like an atomic bomb, but in a more refreshing way with sudden bursts of pleasant audible discovery, just like the unexpected explosion of various landmines.
To give a quick nod to the lyricism (although it deserves a violent bopping of the head in approval), the lyrics feel like a metaphor for personal volatility. It describes the relatable feeling we all have experienced once or twice of balancing on a beam between the composed moments and the cathartic rupture that follows, like a hard landing after holding everything in.
Lee McAdams may be indie in scale, but he didn’t come to play when it comes to production. With major-league readiness for this release, his ambition is apparent. This isn’t just a music release; anyone can tell that this is the execution of a creative blueprint.
‘Landmine’ will be available on all streaming platforms on June 13th.
