Empyrean Atlas / Inner Circle Description: Empyrean Atlas Inner Circle is a euphoric wall of sound that blends minimalist drive and afropop shimmer. Led by composer/multi-instrumentalist David Crowell, Empyrean Atlas blends beautiful soundscapes with multitudes of quick and elegant guitar rhythms to capture a variety of emotions. No lyrics on the entire album. RIYL: The National, Bear in Heaven, Spacey Introspective Movie Soundtracks FCC none Favorites: Literally all great. 1. Sycamore (3:04) – No lyrics. Fast tempo, quick guitar plucking/strumming with a hopeful, upbeat rhythm. Light chord plucking blends in with a heavier bassline. 2. Cynthia (2:56) – No lyrics. Slow tempo. Very elegant harp like sound to this one. Recommend listening while walking through a meadow. 3. Girdwood (3:14) – No lyrics. Med tempo. This one is a little more atmospheric. Reverb soundscapes run tangent to the melody throughout. Recommend listening while exploring the forest and mountains. 4. Looking Both Ways (2:32) – No lyrics. Fast tempo. Similar to the rest. Recommend listening while perusing the big city on a sunny day. 5. Coming Home (3:27) – No lyrics. Slow-med tempo. Pleasant nostalgic vibe transitions back and forth with a slower spacey ambience. Recommend listening while zoning out about the past. 6. Inner Circle (4:18) – No lyrics. Med-fast tempo. Three different guitar lines mesh into beautiful melodic artistry. Bass drum kicks in to get the head bobbin’ with a slow buildup to the end. | ||
