Masaw Picturesque’s return with their single “Dead Flowers,” a different and unique song. Once the tone is settled, it is unable to deny the messages being conveyed in the lyrics.
This also definitely pushes the focal point of heartbreak and mental health to the forefront. The sheer power behind the vocals accompanied by a soft acoustic guitar provides a different viewpoint on typically heavier songs of theirs. By toning down the fierce instrumentals and changing the tone to a softer one, the lyrics of this trio are more prominent, and the listener is unable to escape the emotion being conveyed.
#PICTURESQUE MONSTROUS THINGS SERIES#
Intense vocals paired with cyclic drumming patterns also mix in the vibe of artists such as Blessthefall, who Picturesque have, ironically, toured with.Shortly after the release of this series of singles, Picturesque uploaded the “Broken Home Sessions,” stripped-down acoustic versions of each song.
The first three Picturesque singles are “Just Exist,” “One of Us” and “Speak Softly.” While each has a slightly different sound, each sound like something Sleeping With Sirens would have on their With Ears To See and Eyes to Hear album, but better. On December 16, 2014, the band uploaded three singles to their Youtube and Bandcamp, which would later be released as part of their Monstrous Things album on November 20, 2015, via EVR. In addition to covers of songs, such as “Scars To Your Beautiful” by Alessia Cara, “Do Re Mi” by Blackbear, who Picturesque is heavily influenced by, and “11 Minutes” by Yungblud and Halsey, the band has been releasing music since late 2014. Despite having an album produced by Erik Ron (who has a history of work with artists such as Panic! At The Disco) and a record deal with Equal Vision Records, the band has only 18,000 Twitter followers, a shocking number for a band possessing such raw talent. Right now, you should be asking yourself two questions: Who the hell are Picturesque, and why haven’t I been listening to them forever?Consisting of Kyle Hollis (vocals), Zach Williamson (guitar), Dylan Forrester (guitar), and Jordan McGreenway (bass), Picturesque is a band which deserves more than the small following they have.
