Synth Single Review: “Oceans” by Sea Of Signs & Timesloth

by Karl Magi

Sea Of Signs & Timesloth’s “Oceans” transmits the beauty and quiet power of a blue-water day. The track comes to life as oceanic waves splash and a rising synth spreads with sacred peace. The low end has a steady heartbeat, huge and full of intense power, while the track glides out into an open-sounding, calming tide. The lead synth is ethereal and full of tranquility as it moves like blue waters with deep currents, eddying and flowing with worshipful strength.

A string-like synth trembles with echoing notes that create aquatic stillness, touching me with a mixture of melancholy and meditative, balmy emotion. Giant percussion heaves while the raised notes continue to drift with smooth relaxation. A luscious guitar carries a wandering melody full of utter calm while reverberant notes around it tremble with luminosity, like sunlight glinting from the ocean on a peaceful day.

I enjoy the way in which the track continues to grow and move with a melody that is loving and tender, reflecting all of the serenity the ocean provides.
