Deep Dive Species share new single “Unconditional”

Based in New York, Deep Dive Species is the musical endeavour formed by composers and producers Vadim Militsin and Sergey Popovich, a project shrouded in enigma and intrigue that serves up enthralling soundscapes. Their journey began in 2022 with the release of their debut album, Aquaphilia, a fourteen-track journey into instrumental music.

With a fusion of post-rock sensibilities and synth-driven arrangements, the album dazzled listeners with its blend of light and shadow. Following the album’s release, Deep Dive Species then took a two-year hiatus from releasing original music.

This year they returned with brand new music, first with the single “Adventus” followed by “Salt and Water.” Now they bring us their third single of the year with “Unconditional,” a heartfelt song penned about love.

“Unconditional” is less a love song in the traditional sense and more a musical moment full of all the bliss and melancholy that comes with themes of love. From the delicate guitar plucks that hover in an airy atmosphere, the soft stabs of percussive elements grounds the rhythm as intricate lead melodies dance above.

Gentle synth textures see the arrangement intricately swell throughout as the laid back march of the pace carries the song to the immersive final moments of shimmering instrumental layers. In less than two minutes, Vadim and Sergey craft a beautiful musical experience that conjures emotion and feeling even in the absence of lyrics and words.

With another music video created by Segmentality, hazy vintage style shots present a parallel universe to craft an abstract and absorbing visual experience to perfectly pair with the mesmeric quality of the music. With hints of a new full-length record on the horizon, Deep Dive Species are set to continue to create imaginative and engaging musical worlds this year and beyond.
