DOUBLE-VISION DREAMING

“Living Twice” feels like stepping into a world where everything shimmers at the edges—where reality is a little soft, a little hazy, and absolutely charged with emotion. Ellecielles, the Venetian one-man architect of shoegaze dreamscapes, pours every ounce of his self-taught craft into this track, and you can hear that devotion in every layered swell.

The song opens like a slow dawn breaking, but it doesn’t stay gentle for long. Soon enough, a propulsive post-punk pulse pushes through the fog, anchoring the swirling textures with a heartbeat that refuses to sit still. It’s that gorgeous tension—weightless dream-pop floating over muscular, restless grooves—that gives “Living Twice” its spark. You feel pulled in two directions at once, and honestly, that friction is addictive.

What stands out most is the craftsmanship. The guitars stack up like colored smoke, dense yet never muddy. The bassline moves with purpose, threading through the haze like it knows exactly where it wants to go. And in the middle of it all sits Ellecielles’ melodic sensibility—gentle, human, quietly aching. He’s chasing mood, memory, and motion all at once, and somehow he catches all three.

“Living Twice” isn’t just a track; it’s a moment suspended in motion, a reminder that even in the blur, there’s clarity waiting to be felt. Atmospheric, propulsive, and beautifully immersive—this is shoegaze with a heartbeat.
