INTERCONTINEN7AL, a trailblazing global music collective, has released their latest single, "Apothecary," off their fifth album, INTERCONTINEN7AL, Vol. 5. Known for their unique approach to recording music with musicians from all seven continents, this release pushes the limits of international collaboration by mixing varied inspirations into a unified sound that transcends borders.
"Apothecary" is a highlight track on the album, with 90s alternative rock overtones. The song exemplifies the band's spirit of cross-continental collaboration. The single combines the diverse approaches of American musicians Matt Smith on guitars and keyboards, Alex Burke on bass, and UK vocalist Kelly Wandless to create a smooth and appealing piece of music.
The song embodies the essence of 1990s alternative rock, with gritty guitar riffs, melancholy synth undertones, and pensive lyrics reminiscent of bands like The Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead. Kelly Wandless' evocative vocals lend depth to the track, creating a powerful yet melancholy performance.
INTERCONTINEN7AL began as a creative experiment in 2020, inspired by the limitations imposed by the global pandemic, and has since expanded into a pioneering endeavor that brings together musicians from all over the world. Their unique virtual music creation method has received notice from a variety of media publications, including BandLab, The San Diego Union-Tribune, and The Denver Post.
Vol. 5 of their ongoing album series spans a wide range of genres, from alternative and hard rock to metal, folk, jazz, and even bluegrass, displaying the band's diversity and dedication to exploring new musical landscapes. The album also includes another standout hit, "The Chamber," an instrumental rock piece with contributions from an Antarctica-based artist, emphasizing the project's genuinely worldwide scope.
Beyond their artistic accomplishments, INTERCONTINEN7AL is committed to making a positive difference. All earnings from Vol. 5 will be donated to Doctors Without Borders, maintaining the band's legacy of supporting charity causes through their music.
"Apothecary" exemplifies how INTERCONTINEN7AL's music crosses geographical and cultural boundaries, resulting in a common experience that resonates with listeners globally. The single, along with the rest of Vol. 5, is available on all major streaming platforms, encouraging music fans to embark on a unique auditory adventure created by artists from all over the world.
