Synth Single Review: “Waterfront’’ by Decisive Koala
Decisive Koala’s Waterfront creates soothing feelings above a steady heartbeat of drums and bass. The track begins with muffled elevator music and distantly swelling bass. Trilling, glistening notes tumble through the music above a widely throbbing drum beat and rich bass.
Rapid notes trip through the music as distant, steel drum notes move in the background. Delicately trembling, intertwining notes softly flicker through the music above the guiding drums. Peaceful ease permeates the music as the drums and bass give it shape.
Trumpeting notes ring out far away, as a misty quality fills the background. Now an entangling, round-sounding synth floats out with a lost feeling. The underpinning drums and bass keep the music moving along with the lead synth’s tranquil, soothing quality.
The bass depth gives the track a luscious feeling while a luminous synth vibrates, carrying a wandering melody. I enjoy the laid-back and calm nature in the music as it glides easily to an end.
