If you are a fan of moody, atmospheric pop that makes you want to dance in your headphones, then make sure you give “Untitled 4” by Medejin a listen. At just under three minutes, Jenn Taranto and company deliver the goods with a spellbinding piece of beat driven music for bedroom listening and beyond. “Untitled 4” has an undeniable pop sensibility from the opening delay-drenched guitar hook to the climactic vocal end. The movement of this song, the sweeping arrangement, the catchy melody – all great pop songs have these attributes, and this one is no exception. Probably most impressive is Taranto’s vocal performance. She sells the longing and frustration that comes with waiting for a lover and paints a picture of defiant loneliness in waiting. Great stuff. Can’t wait to hear more from this group!
“Untitled 4” was produced by Simon Nicol, and is featured on the Eleni EP, which will be available for purchase Nov 7th. The release show will be at the Sunset Tavern with DoNormaal and Beatrix Sky.
