Synth Single Review: “Already Here’’ by Andrew Corbin
Andrew Corbin’s Already Here is about realizing that what we need is already close to us. The song starts as colossal, intimidating bass rumbles while fragile chimes shiver in the foreground. Andrew Corbin’s ethereal voice hovers with ghostly precision as the deeply undulating bass shifts and the delicate chimes glimmer. The bass adds threat as Andrew Corbin’s voice floats, touching me with its melancholy expression.
Rapidly twirling notes shine with radiant illumination as the darkly ominous low end thunders. Andrew Corbin whispers with a sibilant grace while the endlessly pulsating low end turns over. The background evokes sweeping clouds as the vocals slip through the music with spectral sensations and expansive, bright arpeggios spin.
The drums launch a hard-hitting pulse as the bass rumbles and broad notes sparkle galactically while the vocals flow. The song ends with the haunting sound of Andrew Corbin’s voice and the heavily rebounding low end while arpeggios flash into silence.
“What if everything we need is already here?” is the central question for our storyteller. He wonders if it’s part of a “pattern in the game of endless fear.” It may be something further outside “a new distraction” and more than merely “a better attraction.”
He points out that love can be found in each moment and says, “You can find me, love. Forever is frozen.”
The narrator talks about the fact that everything is just “a web of dreams cast before our eyes in endless streams. If everything we need is pure distraction, something more than a better attraction.”
