"In Time" by KRNA

Our friends from CDO have a just released new music! I first chanced upon them at the Manila-leg of their “The River Gold” EP launch and was blown away. Since then, they’ve played at the Fete dela Musique Dream Pop/Shoegaze Stage produced by Furiosa.

Their new single - In Time - sees the band experiment a bit with the sonic landscapes but still keeping to their dream pop roots which will define the band’s new era. They made use of more ambient sounds for this track compared to their EP and I’m getting a slight Jpop feel.

About the song:

For "In Time," KC was initially inspired to write for a friend, but the song later evolved into something more personal. The lyrics start by painting an optimistic outlook for the future while forgetting pain from the past, but the persona eventually realizes you have the choice to still have a good life while living with that pain. It's the choices we make that dene who we are.

In Time is about the complex decision of staying with or leaving that which causes you misery. A sonic narrative on making difficult choices and taking a stand on your decisions despite the cost, towards the ultimate goal of self acceptance. This is a song to keep you company through the many difficult times ahead. 

Abbreviated from the Japanese term, “kire-ina”, which easily translates to beautiful, KRNA aims to produce original songs, renditions, live performances and aesthetically remarkable music videos that coincide with this meaning. The River Gold EP released in 2018 is a milestone of the member’s combined talents, receiving praise from The Flying Lugaw review for their “breezy production choices, inspiring instrumentals, and powerful vocal performances.”
