Synth Single Review: “Lounge Chair Weekend” by Vector Hold

by Karl Magi

Vector Hold’s “Lounge Chair Weekend” has a laidback beginning as a background synth forms a cool, blue surround to hushed percussion which ticks steadily as the entire track exhales with profound calm. Full-sounding notes bubble as expansive tonal patterns reach out and the skipping foundation supports the bouncy melodic line, feeling simultaneously playful and chilled out. 

A xylophone moves in a lithe flow, generating imagery of lolling by an aquamarine pool, tropical drink nearby as liquid sounds spill through my ears. Sonic layers paint images of summer and warmth, a synth dancing like light on water. Vector Hold’s guitar transmits a melody which touches with  the warmth of the summer sun, reflecting peaceful relaxation and stress-free living. 

The rhythm sails as the xylophone flickers with gentle morning radiance and reverberant notes tremble like wind through palm trees. The main melody carries out on the guitar, supported by the drums, generating feelings of complete satisfaction and escape from stress before the track ends.
