Synth Single Review: “Wonderflux” by Everdune

by Karl Magi

Everdune’s “Wonderflux” is filled with a sense of planetary adventure. Rapidly rippling notes move alongside a pounding kick drum in an accelerating charge. Percussion bursts into a speeding beat as a synth creates a feeling of gently levitating, cosmic ease. The main melody suggests landscapes unfolding while traveling across an unfamiliar planet.

Pounding underpinnings heighten the drama as the lead synth flies with uplifting force and trumpeting tones fill the music with boundless exploration. I imagine a ship skimming the surface of an unknown world as spinning tones add bursting speed. The way in which the artist weaves imagery is compelling and enjoyable as the track unfolds. 

The synth melody feels tightly wound and thrilling, skipping like dust plumes rising from alien soil. Punching notes and throbbing percussion return before pan pipes float delicately, adrenaline surging until the leaping tonal pattern drives once more and the track ends.
