Synth Single Review: “It Finds Us All” by jacket.

by Karl Magi

jacket.’s “It Finds Us All” captures the heart of pain and how we come to deal with it in caressing tones. The track starts as diaphanous sounds tremble out into open space with a tentative lightness. A broad sound field flows out with painful tenderness, capturing loss and wistful memory. This is music that fills me with thought in a quiet flow of feathery sound.

The music is permeated by meditative contemplation as the threadlike notes drift past my ears with melancholy gentleness. I am carried along by the emotional power within these soft notes, transported through my thoughts and memories, touching moments of loss and hurt.

The main melody slowly flows on a synth that reflects aching emotion, sending a pang through me as the music unfolds. Diamond-like notes sparkle in the firmament of tender synth, as the echoing background is cut by scintillating tones and silence falls.
