Sun and Melancholy

"Sun and Melancholy" is a nostalgic J-Pop number from 556km, inspired by the 90's movie "Buenos Aires," which depicts the complex emotions of a man searching for progress while stuck in the past, with a slow live bass and lo-fi tape noise. Old-school hip-hop beats are reworked with modern DTM, and the song features a girly voice with a hint of ennui, as well as unique lyrics and melody. This song confronts the boredom of summer, sadly echoing the envy and stagnation of a lover who has chosen to break up with him.
