"Wings", a captivating single that marries the essence of indie melodic pop rock has impressed me with its uplifting themes of liberation and individuality. The release, from Melbourne-based band Satellite Train showcases the talented vocals of lead man Michael Paynter whose dynamic vocals serve as the guiding force that propels the track into the realms of both the anthemic and the intimately personal. The beauty goes deeper, it lies in the instrumentation and mixing techniques too, it's in the clean guitar tones, the seamless transitions, and the joining of pop and rock. At its heart, "Wings" is experimental, following a new formation, through the new blending of musical realms. It sways, it soars, and it truly does have wings.
The origin of Satellite Train from coming together as a creative experiment among friends, has evolved into a formidable act. It is through the sound of "Wings" that the seamless blending of the talents of notable musicians such as John Watson, John McCall, Shane O’Mara, Randy Jacobs, Jamie Muhoberac, and the Melbourne duo Susan Turner & Pasquale Monea, alongside Paynter come together to create a sound that is classic yet new.
Drawing on a diverse array of influences and the rich musical heritage of its members, "Wings" echoes those involved who have ties to iconic acts like Icehouse, James Reyne, The Black Sorrows, Paul Kelly, and John Mayer, Satellite Train crafts a sound that's both unique and nostalgically familiar.
So, how did "Wings" go from an idea to a reality? Well, it was born out of the desire for freedom and the aspiration to see someone achieve their fullest potential. "Wings" is a metaphorical exploration of personal growth and liberation, in a showcase of the band's journey and musical ethos.
Here we have a song that was recorded in the heart of Melbourne. Coming off the back of their debut album "The Melbourne Sessions", Satellite Train's musical exploration in their latest single "Wings" sets the tone for a collection of tracks that will break traditional expectations within the dynamic of pop-rock.
"Wings" as a release and the collective album "The Melbourne Sessions" promises fans the blending of melodic richness, lyrical depth, and captivating performances that define the band's unique position in the indie music scene. Do I look forward to more from Satellite Train? As always! "Wings" in one word? soaring.
