Synth Single Review: “Levels” by Atmolifter

by Karl Magi

Atmolifter’s “Levels” has a cloudy, delicate beginning as a softly brushing percussive motion moves with crystalline chimes, like frozen raindrops and the foundation guides with an even heartbeat. A melody carried on a softly shaded synthesizer exudes smoothly sailing sensations, like mist across the moon, while the rhythm rocks the music with tenderness and relaxation.

As glistening drops of sound sprinkle the music, shades of indigo billow from the background, capturing me in a web of peaceful serenity. While the underlayer provides motion, the lead synth draws me into a world of weightlessness, floating as feathery fragility mixes with soaring, uplifting strength.

The track is a sonic journey, painting the beauty of a realm full of zephyrs and pillowy softness, carrying the listener to a fresh world. Ticking percussion is joined by spilling tones that reflect phosphorescent glow and the song carries on with gossamer elegance before the music ends.
