Documentary: Maitreya deconstruct “The Traveler”!

When you’ve got a new EP on the horizon but you don’t want to preview too much, what do you do aside from playthrough videos for every component for every track? How about a video analysis on the song writing process? Canadians Maitreya take us behind the lead single “The Traveler” from their 11th October releasing EP “Auxesis” giving us all the insight.

The band comment: “We’re excited to share The Traveler as the lead single from our upcoming EP, Auxesis. The central theme of Auxesis is growth, and this single boldly demonstrates our new ‘branches’ while digging deeper into our root concept. “The Traveler” showcases theatrical vocal narratives, groove-centric experimentation with genre-jumping, and heavy, drop-tuned breakdowns. Lyrically it is rooted in hurt and displacement. Dealing with feelings of betrayal and a breakdown of communication.”
