"Solaris" by Neuromantics @lostinthemanor #music #promotion #onlyrockradio #tiorrplaylist #tiorr1


Song Info
Neuromantics debut single ‘Solaris’ infuses clever guitar riffs, a pulsating beat, and a smooth, energetic bass line to showcase a melodic treat of a track from the London-based alternative/indie rock band.
Frontman Daniel Pye explains: “On a personal level, Solaris encapsulates notions related to self-doubt, the challenges and fears of taking risks, and finding your place in the world”.
In the music video, the band wakes up in a forest - confused, dressed in tattered clothing, and without any idea of where they are. They then branch off into this ambiguous maze and experience vignettes as they encounter characters on the way. The events that befall these characters represents trials, hardships and negatively charged emotions we as human beings may face. For example, loneliness, rejection, frustration, and being misunderstood. The forest acts as a nightmarish universe, yet when we cut to the band playing in what is reflected as the real world, some of the objects affiliated with the forest characters are present, leaving us to question what the real world is or whether these separate existences are in fact intertwined.
The chorus lyrics ‘How do you want to know if you are good enough for this show’ points to the idea that life itself is a ‘show’ and it really comes down to us as individuals as to how our unique show is going to be performed – will you be content to stick to safe norms and routines and deprive yourself of gaining what you truly seek in life, or will you delve further into the unknown, potentially losing what you’ve got now but with the added relief that you’ve actually taken a chance on something new.
Daniel adds “Ultimately when writing music and lyrics I like to leave it open for interpretation and let the listener decide what it means to them. If they connect with the music and feel something that’s what matters.”
As the song starts listeners are drawn to the imitable vocals and poignant main riff. The groove kicks into gear when the rest of the band enters, complimented by a catchy and uplifting chorus. The track is rounded out by an intricate, well-constructed, and slick guitar solo. Produced by Dax Liniere at London’s Puzzle Factory Sound Studio and mastered by Sean Diggins, ‘Solaris’ is a gripping and compelling first song from the band who are soon set to release their debut album, ‘Crimes of Passion’.

Band Bio
Reflecting on their formation and continued development the band playfully concluded – “the only consistent thing about us is that we’re not consistent”. Well, accept their passion and love for making music. Four completely divergent personalities. Four completely varied life sagas. Four countries of origin – Australia, England, Latvia, and Portugal. Previous involvement in bands and projects of varying musical styles and influences. Yet it works. And it works well.It’s precisely these differences and peculiarities that make for such a collaborative and well-oiled group. After Daniel (vocals/guitar/keys), Andrew (guitar/keys), Daniel (bass/vocals), and Edgars (drums) eventually all wound up in London, alternative/indie rock band Neuromantics materialised shortly after. Their sound captivates listeners with commanding and deep lyrics, carefully crafted melodic guitar lines, soothing and spirited bass, and catchy, powerful drum rhythms. They are no strangers to the live scene, and relish the thrill of a live performance, having played locally in London at establishments such as The Troubadour, Nambucca, Notting Hill Arts Club, and Hope and Anchor, among others. The band recorded their debut album ‘Crimes of Passion’ alongside producer Dax Liniere of Puzzle Factory Sound Studios, which is set for release in the not too distant future.
