Album Review

Reviewed 2022-06-20
Abstract ambient instrumental electronic music from Jacob Long, of Black Eyes and Mi Ami. Slow synth washes. Beats, when they appear, are light and composed of an assortment of blips and clicks. The album has an ethereal vibe, like listening to echoes in a cave as ocean waves wash in and out. Most tracks build slightly and then fade out.

1. Shimmery organ sound builds slowly, an electronic drum beat, chirpy clicking sounds
2. Warm synths, a sporadic drum beat, flickering sounds fade in and out
3. Starts with a soft pulsing beat, then synths join and build
4. Steady beat throughout
5. Crackle, kick, and snaps beat over warm synths
6. More crackle and kick beat, warm synths roll in like waves
7. Slightly darker vibe to the synths
8. Distant piano loop, beats and bass join in, more uptempo than other tracks
9. Back to synth washes and beats
10. Watery beats, more reverb than other tracks
