This is that wonderful sort of music that’s difficult to dislike. Blending the chillout vibe of Zero 7 with a more jagged electronic sensibility, The Glitch Mob serve up a haunting, thoughtful track that retains a degree of intensity, thanks to a fruitful synergy between the detailed production and ethereal vocals.
Opening up with rather blunted tones, the track masterfully swings between two or three styles via the targeted use of heavy synths and occasionally synthesised vocals, before progressing into a mighty all-round upscaling for the final third. Despite being a fairly short track, they pack a great deal in without making it seem cluttered, and the track genuinely feels longer as a result.
The video is very well produced, and matches the peaks and troughs of the song superbly. Whilst it’s occasionally difficult to keep up with the ‘story’, the commentary that it’s ‘a tale about the weight of dependency‘ helps fill those gaps and gives it the potential to be interpreted very subjectively. Worth a watch, and definitely worth a listen. From the upcoming album Drink The Sea, I’m looking forward to more of this nature from the Glitch Mob. (Also, if you enjoyed this, you’ll probably be a fan of this too)
