Kalia Vandever - "Cycle in Mourning"

When we brought you Kalia Vandever's "Staring at the Cracked Window" last month, I said it would appeal to fans of classic jazz and more experimental/noise rock. That sentiment also applies to her latest single, "Cycle in Mourning." The roots of classic and more traditional jazz are in the song, but Vandever takes that base and then meanders off in her own direction. Plus, while most people consider jazz to be soothing, this new single is anything but. At times the song sounds downright eerie, and could even spike a listener's anxiety. Much like some of our favorite noise rock artists, and "Cycle in the Mourning" does that without having to resort to loud volume.

Kalia Vandever says of her latest single:

"Cycle In Mourning is a cyclical and slowly evolving piece that represents the different phases of grief and the way you find yourself caught in a pattern. The piece gradually transforms, leaving you in a state of wonder and optimism that was difficult to see before."
