Dear listeners and readers of Soundville,

I want to share with you a track that had an… awakening effect on me. You know that feeling when you brace for some familiar progressive rock to shake every cell in your body, and then something absolutely unique and unrepeatable appears instead. These are slow steps, a melody building up, a hazy near-dream echo, like fog thickening from all directions and changing everything around. ‘Hand Me Down’ by Padded Waltz belongs in every collection of standout cinematic progressive rock tracks thanks to its unique structure and incredibly sound. The track runs 5 minutes and 26 seconds, and across that time Padded Waltz walks you through their singular world filled with artful harmonies, unpredictable rhythms, and a very aesthetic atmosphere. This is a single that can open up a new side of rock sound for you. Trust me, this will really surprise you!

I like that Padded Waltz are not afraid to be themselves, to create such stunning music that stays in your memory and stands apart from radio trends. ‘Hand Me Down’ carries a swaying kind of atmosphere, because I’m sure by the middle of the track you’ll find yourself moving along with the melody and catching yourself thinking that maybe, just maybe, you need more music from Padded Waltz .Absolutely incredible how the vocals blend with the melody, and the guitar solo feels like part of one grand performance where every instrument is a leader in its own way, and together they create something beyond what is known in music. This solo is one of the most impressive I’ve heard lately. To heat up the atmosphere to the limit and then scatter it into stardust, leaving behind a state of shock? Yes, ‘Hand Me Down’ does exactly that at full speed. Padded Waltz creates music as if from another world, and I recommend you add this track to your playlist and follow Padded Waltz so you do not miss their next release.

Hey Padded Waltz, thank you for releasing such unique music. Incredible harmony, inspiration, understanding between the musicians, and with your energy from the very first bars it is easy to fall in love with your sound. In every bar, you can feel your love for music and how much effort went into this release. Without a doubt, it sounds very cool and full of groove. I will definitely show this release to everyone around me so they can listen to such great music too. I love it and I want more. I am your fan!
