“Avalanche“ by Etats d’Âme

“Avalanche” by Etats d’Âme is an uplifting rock song that gives the listener an inspirational message about making the most of bad times, even when it’s difficult. Etats d’Âme, an indie rock pop band from France, crafts an invigorating sonic journey with this track, pulling you through thought-provoking lyrics and catchy instrumentation with ease. 

One of the most impactful things about this track is that it doesn’t try to sugarcoat the hard times in life. Even though it champions having a positive mindset, “Avalanche” never tries to trick you into thinking it’s easy. Lines like “drink away my reason to smile” show that there are inevitably going to be moments that just don’t feel good, and you aren’t always able to salvage them. But other lyrics, such as “I’ll find my peace again when I’m caught in the avalanche” and “every day can be a good one if you hold onto your hope for tomorrow” offer a refreshing perspective. Doing your best to spin your outlook into a hopeful one is a beautiful way to bring a little joy to even your worst moments.

The production draws on classic rock styles with pop melodies, all the while representing Etats d’Âme’s unique sense of style. Thrumming bass, energetic drums, and dancing guitars build the soundscape of the song, providing a soaring backbone for these impactful lyrics to shine. Slight shifts in energy from section to section let the instrumentation weave its way across the arrangement, giving the song a cohesive yet dynamic feel.
