Noah Mroueh of ARK IDENTITY is continuing a string of single releases with the atmospheric and melancholic indie pop release, “Screens,” which reflects on digital isolation and is taken from the upcoming debut EP, ANNDALE, out on November 8th.
Pulling influences from Bon Iver as well as Coldplay’s Parachutes LP, “Screens” features plaintive vocals, acoustic guitar, and shimmering synthesizers. ARK IDENTITY uses pedal effects to give the song an otherworldly feel, layering twinkling guitar onto the track which lends a dreamy quality to the feelings of loss communicated in Mroueh’s lyrics.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of drifting through euphoric highs and nostalgic memories, all while being anchored to the screens that define our modern existence. – ARK IDENTITY
