Stereo Pastel is a dreamy and energetic synth-pop track about romantic melancholy, disappointment, doubt, and fading devotion – told through whimsical and surreal metaphors. The title reflects the feeling: “pastel” as something sweet, delicate, and naive; “stereo” as something that fills and makes noise everywhere – soft and loud at the same time.
Stereo Pastel is the first single from the upcoming debut album Banyan.
Metropolitan? is a synth-pop double single exploring the contrasts of urban life and love. Through shimmering synths, vocal layers, and dynamic beats, the two tracks, Easy and Quiet, reflect a relationship caught between hope and fear, intimacy and solitude, and the constant tension of city chaos.
Easy conveys restless energy and inner conflict, while Quiet offers a more serene resolution. The title evokes the urban landscape - bustling, vibrant, and ever-changing — mirrored in both emotion and sound.
Elephant is a melancholic yet powerful pop track about longing, loneliness, frustration, and change in a relationship. Intimate vocals, driving bass and beats, and reflective, synth-driven production carry the song’s vulnerability and emotional intensity.
Airport is a hopeful and dreamy track about new love, optimism, and the quiet trust that comes with a farewell kiss at the airport. Sparkling synths and energetic drums reflect the song’s uplifting and intimate emotions. It is Aotus’ first release, and the accompanying homemade music video acts as a personal visual diary, alternating between a trip to Berlin and the Himalaya mountains, mirroring the song’s themes.
