Glorious Arty Indie
'The Vanishing of Maria Schneider' is the second single to be taken from dEUS's new album, 'Vantage Point'; it's a glorious indie rock wonder that grows to epic proportions. The misty-eyed, softly-spoken verses lead to a gripping chorus swelling with glittering romance, "Somewhere over tired oceans underneath the stars it's time to become who you are," assert the soaring vocals as violins arch above them. This track alone is proof at dEUS have lost their wonder despite being on their sixth album. Understated and fuzzy guitars buoy up the spellbinding melody that's simply a result of great songwriting.
'The Vanishing of Maria Schneider' is as dreamy and delightful as anyone could hope, although it has a far softer edge than many of the more beat-driven tracks on the album. If you're looking to fall in love with a song completely, try this one.
