A simple but ever so pleasing acoustic melody makes Hidden Pillars’ latest tune ‘Shattered’ a delectably melodic piece of acoustic driven soft rock. The ballad is loaded with eloquence and poignance, the kind of soothing indie rock that has you entirely elevated. It’s a transcendental record, carrying with it an atmosphere that has you floating more and more as the song develops and incorporates additional harmonies and increasingly layered instrumental arrangements. When the drums stat to build tension towards the songs middle section and the vocals become increasingly impassioned that’s when ‘Scattered’ starts to really have you feeling all sorts of ways.
A deeply emotional track that perfectly encapsulates what a piece of feeling driven rock music should convey, ‘Shattered’ is an ideal ballad. Escape into bliss while completely falling into the magic of its sounds and emotions.
