A limited edition 12β from popular synthwave artist Das mΓΆrtal that swings from propulsive dance numbers to pensive atmospherics. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 13, 2019
Poetic, crystalline, elegant - "Sentient" is a perfect complement to "Escape...", focusing a bit more on rhythmic exploration. It may feel less painterly and more ascetic in the process (e.g. tracks like "Activate"), but if you stay tuned there's plenty of the cathartic synthwork and conceptual depth that made Oscillian a go-to act for me. Add vocal banger "The Brightest Cry" and a Blade Runner-esque "Coda" and you're in for a ride. x0riente
