I Don’t Do Crowds “structure of the track is forever interesting”

This music, the 6 feet under recording initially, has the blissfully crisp and simultaneously dreamlike, calming atmosphere that only the very best and most thoughtful electronic music can achieve – all composed and arranged alongside of a subtle but powerful bit of songwriting and vocal performance.

The structure of the track is forever interesting, always challenging the norm, never following the expected path. There are distinct and necessary threads throughout the soundscape, but there is also so much evolution and development. The music builds in a beautiful way, everything remains calm and content and reflective and expressive, but there’s also a notable element of rising intensity that passes on to you as you listen.

The ambience of the music is enough to ease you softly away from your troubles, from a long and troublesome day, and the creativity and evolution as mentioned are more than enough to keep your interest and to hold your attention consistently. Every moment of each of these tracks has this ongoing feeling of escapism, an effective fusion of nostalgic, known to be effective musical methods, and a series of lines and effects that bring about something completely fresh.

‘The Passing’ has a familiarity to it after hearing the initial recording, but this track has a building level of drama and power that is incomparable. The build up and break down of the music is sensational, and much more than this, the lyricism and the development of the vocal performance in line with the story are stunning. The pause before ‘I / you caused it’ gives it insane impact, it’s so well placed and so thoughtfully expressed at this particular point within the soundscape. The music here in every case is sublime, easy to listen to, easy to reflect upon your own life to, easy to remember and rely upon.
