Neacal unveiled his second single ‘Out of Control’ on August 16th, 2024 via Neacal Music. The single received support from acclaimed tastemaker NOTION Magazine. The producer, singer-songwriter and composer is the emerging chamber pop project of a Siberia-based artist who started his career as the founder of one of the most influential progressive/post-rock bands from Eastern Europe.
Neacal creates orchestral pop as a means to transmute trauma and redefine his sonic language. Influenced by the brooding orchestral pop of Woodkid, Agnes Obel and Owen Pallett, he’s been a composer for over 16 years, most of which he spent focusing on instrumental music.
‘Out of Control’ switches direction from the wonder of its predecessor ‘The Bell’, towards a far more melancholic emotional tapestry. It’s a wintery ballad with theatrical strings and emotive horns. The song’s instrumental composition provides an intricate yet delicate foundation for Neacal’s vocals, filled to the brim with emotion as he sings about pulling oneself out of a dark place. The single is accompanied by a stunning lyrical video that features serene natural landscapes with snippets of mysterious and esoteric shots throughout.
Watch the lyrical video for ‘Out of Control’ below:
Neacal shared: “This song was born during one of my most severe episodes of depression, but despite that fact, it’s a hymn of hopefulness and acceptance. Here my suppressed part expresses its realisation that it is not going to dissolve into nothingness as previously expected, and that there’s a chance it will gain life and freedom along the way. In ‘Out of Control’, it finds itself still lurking in the shadows, but now it inevitably crawls towards the light, even if that might be the light of an explosion. Things will get better, even if they might get worse before that happens.”
