Omnesia’s new single “Days and Nights” opens a window into a rich, 17-track album experience that blends future vintage rock, indie dance, electro-pop, nu wave, and prog. The song itself is a warm and organic creation, built around the feelings of loneliness when a loved one is away and the joy and anticipation of their return. Medella Kingston’s layered, androgynous vocals glide effortlessly over M2’s eclectic guitar work, giving the track an emotional depth that feels both unusual and familiar. The accompanying video evokes a nostalgic, cinematic charm reminiscent of Mary Tyler Moore and Planes, Trains and Automobiles, grounding the song in a timeless narrative of connection and reunion.
The album as a whole is a bold exploration of sonic diversity. Each track brings its own unique character, reflecting Omnesia’s refusal to be confined to one genre. From prog-influenced passages to electro-pop textures, the songs showcase a mastery of layered production, live instrumentation, and analog warmth. The recording process emphasized live performance, capturing drums in a brick-walled Oakland warehouse to create a resonant, authentic sound. Bass, guitars, and keys were recorded live in a continuous take, with later overdubs of strings, synths, and vocals enriching the final mix.
Standout tracks beyond “Days and Nights” reflect the album’s “future vintage” ethos. Some songs carry the nostalgic energy of late ‘70s and early ‘80s new wave, blending synthesizers and drum machines with modern production. Others explore progressive structures, unexpected shifts, and emotionally charged storytelling, often tied to the videos that accompany each song. The album is conceived as a multi-sensory experience, where the music and visual storytelling interlock to create a coherent yet adventurous narrative across all 17 tracks. “Days and Nights” is the perfect introduction to Omnesia’s world: warm, intricate, and deeply human. It sets the stage for an album that celebrates experimentation, emotional honesty, and the joyful collision of past and future musical landscapes. Omnesia’s debut promises to be an immersive journey for listeners who crave both nostalgia and innovation.
