Brisbane electronic group MTNS has been trickling releases from their “Like A Stone EP” for a few months now, and today the full EP is here.

Their biggest hit ‘Slow Motion’ has now racked up over 17,000 SoundCloud plays with ‘Waves’ also pulling healthy numbers.

The EP was recorded in LA with brothers and good friends of MTNS, CAMBO and Louis Bartolini.

“Our time spent in California was inspiring. It was an amazing experience getting involved in a music scene outside of our own,” MTNS said.

The songs are inspired by their families, friends and faith, and for a lyrical perspective, they are based on a reflection of life from hindsight.

“These songs reflect the joining of our histories and differences. Through the process of building this EP we’ve learned a lot about collaboration in music and experienced first-hand its power to bring people together,” MTNS said.

The MTNS soundscape has developed since their first EP ‘Salvage’ three years ago, stepping away from the computer and using natural elements to blend in with the electronic productions.

“A big part of our new development was experimenting with sounds and attempting to bring the ‘live, natural and band feel’ to the electronic scene. Our first songs were all based 100% on the computer, so it was great to get out of the box and manipulate natural elements by blending them with the electronic sounds,” MTNS said.

Two new songs on this EP are ‘Aes Sedai’ and ‘Like A Stone’, each rounding out a cohesive pop-electronic vibe. There’s angst and drama across the four tracks, which hit you hard and strike with every synth clash.

This newfound sonic direction for MTNS is a promising step forward in establishing themselves as major players in the music space, and will hopefully inspire others to follow suite.

“Our hope is that anyone listening to our music will feel inspired to create and connect in the same way we have,” MTNS said.
