Mandolynne Releases Ethereal Synth Ballad “Scene Of The Crime”

Prince Edward Country indie-electronic artist Mandolynne has recently released her latest single “Scene of The Crime”.  Scene of The Crime is a song off of Mandolynne’s upcoming debut EP Mother” set to debut in 2022. Through each piece she explores her tumultuous childhood, sexual abuse, and growing up within the foster care system. This song is a reflective nod to her past. Mandolynne describes the song as

“An ethereal, synth ballad that unlocks doors of the past. Reminiscent of stepping into your childhood home, examining its inner workings, dancing with your ghosts, listening to each creek and feeling how it shaped the trajectory of your story. Bury the regrets of your past in the floorboards, accept what is, forgive what can’t be and proceed.”

The song starts off very soft, with only a piano and Mandolynnes voice, which draws you right in with it’s spacey tone, making you feel as though you don’t even want another instrument in there so you can really let the lyrics sink in.

“When you go back home

Sit around with ghosts,

Be sure to take your time

And study the scene of the crime”

Over the course of the pandemic, a lot of us finally had the time to stop, sit down and reflect on our lives. Introspection is important, but for a lot of us, it’s more comfortable to simply not think about some parts of our lives, or the ghosts we’ve left behind.  “Scene of The Crime” talks about coming face to face with your past, and making sure to take the time to truly look at it.

As this dynamic track song builds around the lyrics, you’re engulfed in a wave of drone filled electronic indie music that seems to move right through you. It’s hard to move forward when you haven’t confronted the past, and this song brings you into a sonic atmosphere that really makes you want to take the time to think about what your own scene looks like.
