Synth Single Review: “U.P.O.’’ by St.Cliche
St. Cliche’s U.P.O. is full of drifting sensations and contemplative motion. The song starts as a trembling synth vibrates over a static bed. A slightly uncertain quality fills the vibrating notes as the crackling continues in the background. Expanding sounds flicker and move with a steady shiver before the percussion adds shaping strength. A mix of tenuous sensations and strong low-end weight adds contrast.
Continually twirling notes dance with the hollow, piping synth as it transmits balance and calm against the heavy rhythm of the track. The drums are crisp as the open, full-sounding synth carries a thoughtful melody, wrapping around me and drawing me into serene contemplation.
As the shaping tide of the beat guides, fluting synth notes shine while the wobbling background pulsates and the luminous notes roam. Coruscating brightness fills the elevated notes before they glide away and fall silent.
