TONICA With Their exhilarating Track “Perfect Lie”

Introducing TONICA they are an emerging duo from the northern city, that is looking to create a new musical chapter with their vibrant brand of alt-pop. TONICA encompasses a contemporary, hook-heavy, electronic sound with a dark, mysterious edge that brings something new to the table with their hook-laden songs. Check out their superb debut single, ‘Secrets’. A macabre take on a failing relationship; ‘6 Feet Underground’ juxtaposes its sorrowful subject matter with euphoric guitars, pulsating synths & soaring vocals. The track was recorded and produced at TONICA’s home studio. Consisting of Amory (singer, songwriter, and guitarist) and Sam (songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer). TONICA was formed off the back of a mutual love of dark and delicious stadium alt-pop, the duo is experts at crafting sublime songs and visuals that lead to a world of neon, late nights, and infinite possibilities. In terms of musical inspiration, TONICA is heavily influenced by classic 80s synth & alternative bands such as Depeche Mode, The Cure & Soft Cell. Amory & Sam also list contemporary acts Joan, Lauv, The Neighbourhood & The Weeknd as current influences. Many of TONICA’s songs encapsulate ideas of the romantic and melodramatic, giving them a certain cinematic feel that reflects their self-labeled ‘neon-noir’ stylings. ‘Films like Blade Runner & Drive have this shadowy, mysterious feeling to them – they feel like their music captures that sense of drama & suspense too. Following the release of their newest single “Perfect Lie,” they project a sparkling sound that will definitely captivate your attention. Starting with vibrant instrumentation leading onto their smooth and intoxicating vocals they complete the song fully. Explaining the track a bit further it’s about keeping the faith during hard times; this kind of harks back to the band’s name and what music means to them, it’s their form of comfort and escapism. They can’t imagine doing anything else with their lives really, during the midst of the pandemic they’d daydream about pursuing a career in music, even if it was temporarily unattainable. That became ‘the perfect lie’, but they think there’s a universal message within the track that encourages people to stick to what they believe in. To the vocals and production, this single will surely have you jamming out. Being just perfect for a drive during sunset or hanging out with some friends. Go stream “Perfect Lie” and check out their discography which is filled with amazing music.
