Midwife & Vyva Melinkolya - Orbweaving (2023)


Everyone who cares about ambient pop as a genre, knows who Midwife is. This time, Madeline Johnston brings on a cooperation between her and Vyva Melinkolya, a Pittsburgh-based band led by Johnston's friend, Angel Diaz. Together, they created an album that will become one of the icons of the genre (as basically anything Midwife does).

The two artists created their music in the middle of a desert in New Mexico and these spiritual vibes can be heard on the record as it talks about very spiritual themes of "hopelessness, calling on a higher power, being alone, and the sublime horror of the natural world" in the form of the ambient pop genre. The inclusion of the band means that there is more of the melodic structures in Midwife's music. While the vocals feel as utterly ethereal as always, the fuzzy, hazy backgrounds hide more of the traditional rock-like music (like in Hounds of Heaven). But the best parts are where the music comes back to the definite, ambient pop ballad areas with the single NMP and its beautiful, charming and very sad melody as well as psychedelically noisy finish.
