Coming out of Berlin, Para Lia is an indie rock outfit featuring the talents of songwriter René Methner on vocals, guitar and synths, Cindy Methner on vocals, Michael Schlottke on bass, dummer Emanuel Mukow and guitartists Remo Ender and Dennis Grund. First unveiling their shared sonic vision in 2019 via their debut ten-track record, Soap Bubble Dreams, they’ve since shared multiple well-received singles, an EP and two further albums while linking up with artists such as Amanda Kim Sanderson, Fady Haddad and Terry Wigmore on collaborative tracks.
Bringing us their latest release, they share their new single titled “Mind Song,” a track that captures the urgency of time and the need to embrace every moment of life. Built on grooving guitar riffs and wrapped in a gritty blues rock fabric, the song blends elements of psychedelia with an anthemic, stadium-ready presence.
As Para Lia urges listeners to break free from hesitation and live in the moment, “Mind Song” becomes an epic soundtrack for living life to the fullest. The band’s familiar blend of atmospheric rock and memorable melodic writing tinged with brooding dark wave vibes is on full display here, led by René’s powerful vocals that glide through the layered instrumentation, creating an expansive yet personal listening experience.
There’s a sense of liberation in the music, as if the song itself is pushing against invisible boundaries, inviting the listener to do the same. Jumping straight into a marching rhythm of punchy drums and bouncy guitar lines, René’s rich voice enters to spin slick melodies above, rising with the swell of instrumentation to soar above, resulting in an anthemic sound brimming with rousing energy and intricate musicianship.
With a moody aesthetic and alternative edge, the ultimately uplifting song delivers a bold and invigorating listening experience that’s sure to win over fans across Europe and beyond. Building with a winding guitar solo, the finale arrives where René and Cindy’s vocals serve up a memorable final chorus on this marvellous new single from a talented band.
Paired with the single is an animated music video directed by the band’s own René Methner which features a series of abstract and kaleidoscopic scenes cut with shots of the band members, unfolding to cast a hypnotic viewing experience. Combining with the steady rhythmic march and mesmeric melodic writing of the song, it’s a truly spectacular visual accompaniment for Para Lia’s sensational new single.
