Synth Single Review: “Prism” by Night Audit

by Karl Magi

Night Audit’s “Prism” resonates with a reverberant synth drifting in tumbling lines which grow in strength above a sonic tide which rises, complementing the increasing power of slightly rough-edged notes cascading into an intense rush. The charging rhythmic pulse electrifies the leaping melodic line as Night Audit’s guitar chugs before rising into a melody that shatters the music into refracted brilliance.

The lead synth has a vibrant radiance as the growling guitar pulses before flashing into gem-like effulgence and cruising with gliding progress. The rushing underpinnings flourish with massive strength and resonating tones support the guitar as it climbs with piercing brightness and irresistible force.

All of the complex layers intrigue my ears as a tightly wound note pattern contributes a ghostly quality, drifting past in spectral trails. The drums accelerate as Night Audit’s guitar flies out, free and flowing, giving an impression of escape before the track comes to an end.
