IN THE AFTERGLOW - Lives In Tandem

On Rotation: In The Afterglow "Lives in Tandem"

From the vibrant city of Vancouver comes In The Afterglow, a project that has quickly captured the attention of many. Just a few weeks ago, they released their debut single, "Lives In Tandem," and since then, it has garnered widespread praise and secured spots on numerous Spotify playlists—and for good reason.

In The Afterglow is the solo project of British-Canadian music producer Alfred Hermida, and saying he has hit the ground running with this track would be an understatement. Hermida has crafted a piece that is not just heard but deeply felt.

"Lives In Tandem" begins with an incredibly cinematic atmosphere that immediately draws you in. The soaring guitars intertwine with soothing vocals that carry an almost ethereal quality, as if they’re reaching out beyond the tangible. The production is meticulous, evident from the very first note.

The pacing of the percussion is perfectly set to keep you fully engaged, making it impossible not to tap your foot along with the beat. But it's in the anthemic and cinematic breakdown in the middle of the song where "Lives In Tandem" truly shines, delivering a moment that sends shivers down your spine.

As "Lives In Tandem" comes to a close, it leaves a lasting impression, solidifying In The Afterglow as a project with immense potential. Alfred Hermida’s ability to blend cinematic elements with emotive storytelling makes this debut not just a song, but an experience. It’s a track that resonates deeply, promising more powerful music to come from this rising artist.
