Brussels-based ambient, indie outfit We The Living features two highly accomplished artists in their own right:

• Andorra-born and-based composer and singer/songwriter José Papí, best known for his work in hard rock outfit Yearn
• British-born, Brussels-based ambient, electronic music legend David Morley

We The Living can trace its origins back to 2015: Papí and Morley discussed starting a project together, but the project started in earnest earlier this year, when teh duo went into the studio to write and record their full-length debut, Making The Living Great Again, an effort, which was released earlier this month, that the band describes as “an obstinately melodic trip into existential challenges and the unresolved issues of today’s world.”

Making The Living Great Again‘s latest single “We Shall Return” is anchored around a supple and propulsive bass line, twinkling keys, and a glistening, reverb-soaked guitar figure. The arrangement serves as a lush and dreamy bed for Papí’s yearning delivery. The result is a song that seemingly recalls Softspot‘s gorgeous, fever dream of an album, 2017’s Clearing — but with a sense of existential dread.
