Synth Single Review: “Coastal Glide” by Innervisions

by Karl Magi

Innervisions’s “Coastal Glide” is pure musical tranquility, enfolding me in relaxed sensations. The track opens with aquamarine lucidity as vibrating sounds tremble off into the distance. Imagery of warm blue water lapping on clean sand and palm trees reflected in azure lagoons fills the music as the shaping beat slips past.

Calm slips all around me, reaching out to wrap me in a relaxing embrace like tropical water flowing around parched skin. The rhythm continues to slowly guide as the melody flows with easygoing, graceful emotion, and the whole track exhales cerulean peace.

The lead synth touches like a steady flow of soft air across my face while the vibrating notes shift as the drums fade away. Percussion returns and the lead synth floats like hibiscus flowers on warm ocean water as the main melody expands through the track with deep clarity before everything fades back into quiet.
