Eylsia Nicolas delivers a soulful journey with “On the Wings of Angels”
In her latest single, “On the Wings of Angels,” rising artist Eylsia Nicolas shares a beautiful and moving reflection on a deep question we all ponder. With her poetic lyrics and captivating sound, Eylsia creates a heartfelt meditation on themes like life, patience, and the strength of the human spirit. “On the Wings of Angels” feels like entering a peaceful, dream-like place where time seems to slow down and important questions are gently explored. The song begins with the line “we all wonder where we go,” which sets a thoughtful mood.
It’s not just about where we end up, but also about understanding our purpose and what we leave behind. Eylsia doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but encourages listeners to embrace the uncertainty. Lines like “We’ll be patient, until the end we’ll never know” are sung with a quiet power, accompanied by soft music that lets her voice shine through. There’s an emotional depth to her singing that conveys both acceptance and a sense of longing, making the song truly captivating. One of the most powerful moments in the song is when she sings, “Our thoughts betray our instincts, but they’ve only got us so far.” This line highlights the limits of thinking when faced with life’s mysteries.
In this moment, Eylsia connects the mind and the heart, acknowledging that some truths can only be felt rather than understood. “On the Wings of Angels” doesn’t rely on flashy effects or complicated sounds. Instead, it embraces vulnerability, creating a comforting space for anyone who has ever struggled with life’s uncertainties. Eylsia Nicolas has created an experience that feels both rooted in reality and hopeful. This single reminds us that even when we don’t have all the answers, there is still beauty to be found. Sometimes, all we need to do is wonder on the wings of angels.
Album Review
Mt. Kili Mt. Kili delivers quiet power and honest reflection on “The Noticer” (album)
Mt. Kili’s latest album, “The Noticer,” is a warm, contemplative acoustic folk album that finds beauty in the minutiae of life itself, as calm and bare as anyone would call it. Songwriter Rick Sichta of Asheville leads the project with delicate instrumentation and outspoken lyrics, bringing forth an experience that can be both personal and universal.
Recorded at Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, the music is refined and mastered by Grammy Award-winning Julian Dreyer and David Glasser. The current lineup still embodies this vision, with Matt Shepard holding down a heavy rhythmic backbone and Laney Barnett’s violin and vocals rounding out the sound, creating emotion.
There is a story and emotion hidden within each track. The EP opens with “Don’t Start a War,” which opens contemplatively, begging for peace rather than war. The title track, “The Noticer,” exudes a sense of awareness and the beauty of watching life unfold. “The Rain Song” features a soothing, near-meditative vibe.
With a hopeful reflection, “The Road Isn’t as Long as It Seems” is about perspective and perseverance. “Her Song” is pretty much a musical love letter, and “Kyle” is defined by its character-driven narrative. With “The Weather Report,” the change of feeling is reflected, while “Scars “ and “Strawberry Fields” hint at memories and softening imagery. “All in Good Time” concludes the record patiently, a soothing sigh of comfort. “The Noticer” is a reflective album with a soft reminder that sometimes the smallest moments mean the most.

dredge reflects on emotions and unfiltered truth in “doomed from the start” (EP)
“doomed from the start,” the debut EP of dredge is a burst of underground noise, rough around the edges, an ambitious debut that embraces chaos in its own deeply personal way. The EP is raw, recorded in a garage somewhere between Birmingham and Worcestershire, with a cinematic feel that mirrors its emotive honesty.
It begins with “captain oblivious” and portrays the uncertainty and restlessness of a track after meeting someone unaware of the most fundamental part of themselves. “drink beer, hail satan“ takes the mood down a notch, with a bit of black humor about aging and death, presented in an oddly humorous way, but more plainly. The balance of energy and reflection presented on the track makes it one of the most memorable tracks on the project.
“temptress“ is like an idea of running into the wrong people & getting caught up in that familiar feeling of being drawn to harrowing situations. An exploration of the darker, cheeky end, then to round up the EP with “goblins.” The track is dynamic, and it complements the project nicely. “doomed from the start” is concise, coming in at just over 15 minutes, and it’s a crashing, truthful, and unvarnished introduction to dredge’s world.
