Synth Single Review: “Phosphorescent” by Aisle 9

by Karl Magi

Aisle 9’s “Phosphorescent” carries outward into space with indigo light. The track opens as elegantly intertwining, lush tones move and chimes flit with sun-dappled energy. The percussion holds a steady heartbeat while bending tones float outward with a tranquil feeling and the main melody comes to life with positivity and delicate luminosity.

Metallic tones combine with feathery sensations as actively leaping percussion joins trembling sounds that float into space. Impressions of vast internal landscapes, full of introspective radiance and a magenta glimmer, fill the music as a steady foundational pulse adds form.

The drums drop away as vibrating sounds shiver through the track, carrying me along with an easygoing drift. Raised, jeweled sounds flicker as the beat returns, throbbing with velvety sensations, while a horizon of misty shine radiates from the synth as it flies freely and a panpipe breathes into silence.
