Maida Rose is the The Hague, The Netherlands-based dream pop duo of Javièr den Leeuw and Roos Meijer, who have returned with their track “Phoenix.”
It’s taken from their upcoming EP, Philia, which celebrates the 10th anniversary of the friendship between its songwriters.
It’s a lush and warm slice of dream pop, woven deep with themes of taking charge of your life even after an emotionally challenging period. It captures a sense of nostalgia and melancholy, with the instrumentation and vocals reminiscent of some early Beach House.
Or as the band describe it:
‘Phoenix’ takes you on a journey of introspection. Inspired by poems of the Persian poet Rumi, the duo explores the challenges of taking responsibility for your own life and rising up after an emotionally challenging period. Dreamy as ever, though more mature than their previous work, Maida Rose remains a treat for all lovers of slow indie songs.
