hey hey, welcome to another issue of a single song review! we've got a super cool song for you, bringing you a vast array of textures and ideas all wrapped up in a dancey housey trancey box that's flashing and has strobe lights and such. meet television by ducks93鸭, a song that we think is cool as hell, and you should listen to.

click the picture up above to give it a listen!

what i liked! :)

so straight up, this is a song with a lot going on, and all of it is sick as hell. from the riffs and melodies to the tones at play all of this is rich and detailed and bursting with creative energy. this is the kind of song where someone has spent a long time playing about with their instruments and it shows. underpinning all of that is of course the kind of hot and heavy bass line that refuses to let up. fundamental elements like that that make a track like this work. what sets it apart however is it's ability to tie together such a vast array of ideas into something cohesive. that's no mean feat either, it's so easy to lose yourself when writing tracks like this and this doesn't, not quite. instead, you've treated to an array of cool ideas that land in, do their thing and then get out of dodge. like a cheese board.

what i didn’t like :(

all that said, i do wish that the riff at the start of the song could've been retained in some way as it was by far my favourite part, and something i thought got lost for no real reason beyond the ambition to keep things changing.

my drunk opinion :S

i feel like this song needs to be heard in a place where the walls are wet

for fans of

so, this weeks comparison is not very niche but it is apt, in that this is the the one that puts me in the most even headspace as i have when i listen to this, and that is the lane 8 seasonal mixes. i get lost in these all the time and they are such perfect implementations of the ideas of this song, and for that i tihnk this is a good parallel.

should you listen to more?

while i've been writing this review, this artists back cat has been playing on in the background and lemme tell you. it's awesome. this is an artist that knows what they're going and isn't afraid to keep it up, and i love that. tune in for tons of vaporwave aesthetic influenced house and electronica.
