Austin, Texas-based musical duo Millennium Resorts carve a distinctive niche in the musical landscape with their new single, “Happiness,” out now across digital platforms. Serving as the inaugural preview from their upcoming concept album, “In The Key of David,” slated for release on January 26th, Millennium Resorts venture into an atmospheric realm uniquely their own.
In their latest offering, “Happiness,” Millennium Resorts skillfully traverse the boundaries of complementary subgenres, weaving a mesmerizing sonic tapestry. Drawing inspiration from the hypnotic grooves of Tame Impala, the psychedelic prog rock stylings of Pink Floyd, the immersive electronic dream pop of M83, and the brooding shoegaze of My Bloody Valentine, the duo delivers a cinematic release that defies easy classification.
Monolithic in its presence and drenched in atmosphere, Millennium Resorts consistently build tension and mystique throughout their music, affording listeners the freedom to interpret and derive their own meanings. As the first glimpse into “In The Key of David,” the album unfolds as a complex tapestry of musical themes, intertwined and evolving from start to finish. The band embraces the listener’s interpretation, acknowledging the inevitable comparisons to cyberpunk aesthetics and dystopian themes while emphasizing the depth and breadth of their sonic exploration.
Crucially, “In The Key of David” is conceived as a holistic listening experience, a deliberate departure from the fragmented nature of individual tracks. The duo insists on the importance of consuming the album from start to finish, a carefully composed journey that transcends isolated songs. With “Happiness” as the album’s mind-unraveling, multi-layered introduction, Millennium Resorts invites audiences into a realm where synthpop, EDM, and shoegaze converge, guided by a recurring motif that propels the narrative toward the album’s culmination.
“We originally aimed to blend the sounds of synthpop, EDM, and shoegaze, introducing a recurring motif with the key change that leads into the final piece of the album. This track and the entire album draw thematic inspiration from countless episodes of VH1’s ‘Behind the Music’ and E True Hollywood Story, offering a unique narrative thread that underscores the immersive journey within ‘In The Key of David.'”
