With a slew of synths and spacious production that gradually builds into a state of utter euphoria, Sarko Montaug’s latest dream pop spectacle ‘ We Live In The Sky’ is serenity in a song. The indie pop duo utilises vintage synths to craft a more retro feeling to their work while still maintaining a grandiosity in the sheer depth and scale that the song hits to build that ethereal vibe. It is without a doubt, a song built on spectacle. You’re immersed in every bit of the song, every moment lending itself to elevate your experience to a point of complete and utter surrendering to where the floating and effervescent nature of the track takes you.
That complexity, the layering of melody on melody, synth on synth, vocal on vocal, is what enables Sarko Montaug to be such a sharply differentiated and capable dream pop duo. The music video was shot in a mid-century house as well as a high rise apartment building both in the Chicago area. “We wanted the contrast of the house, preserved in the era of its time (early 60s), and the apartment in such a modern building to reinforce the concept of the past suddenly becoming the present.”
Poignant, with a hint of tragedy, ‘We Live In The Sky’ is a remarkable piece of euphoria inducing dream pop.
