Synth Single Review: “I Miss You” by jacket.

by Karl Magi

jacket.’s “I Miss You” unfolds with fondness, ache and abiding love. Shadowy yet wistful tones echo into open space while massive bass rebounds and ticking percussion shapes the air. The background washes in lush sensation as a reverent female voice trembles with depth and affection. A lead synth spangles with dawn-like light, skipping through the track with a hurting melody that remains filled with love as it unfolds. A palpable sense of loss and longing permeates the music. 

Thunderous bass introduces a dancefloor pulse as cascading notes tumble and the backdrop slides like a lover’s fingers caressing skin. A distant tone hums with passion while wordless vocals drift and intertwining melodies radiate peace. Misty and tender, the female voice floats past as the beat drops away. Soon, a resonant rhythm returns, restoring motion as dancing notes merge remembrance with fervency, guiding the track to its graceful end.
