This latest remix “Ai Rising” is yet another awesome track from the Popcypher. The track starts off in a much more traditional manner than some of their other recent releases – the vibe is set, strong, and fast; with classic rhythms to get you hyped up from the offset. Then as the music begins to unfold, the ever-beautiful World Of Popcypher sound just pours over you.
This new track makes for a sublime listening experience, particularly when played at volume, through noise-canceling headphones – perhaps as part of a long journey. It’s a beautifully intense few minutes when you let it be just you and the music.
The track appears as much more of a soundscape than a song, especially in terms of structure. The music is gentle but intense; it builds, without getting noisy. The story unfolds, the poetry of it soaks into you, the hypnotic looping of those instruments and that relaxed, calming, almost whispered vocal performance makes for a mind-altering few minutes.
It’s a beautiful piece of music that really requires you to take the time out to just sit back and experience it. The whole soundscape creates the effects superbly, with its equally natural simplicity, a slightly jarred reality expressed through audio effects – as a complete piece of art it’s an incredibly well-crafted release.
After that two-minute mark, the wonder of this spectrum of work created by Popcypher shines its familiar and all-encompassing light. As is always the case; these are not just songs, this is not just a track for the sake of putting out a track – everything released here is an absolute journey. It’s an experience to listen to, and as mentioned previously, there’s a stunning fusion of nostalgia and optimism – the past and the future, joining forces for this dream-like ambiance, which pulls you away from your daily struggles with great strength and substance.
The music has the potential to leave you feeling a little like something is missing from your life once the track has stopped. This effect is quite rare, and it’s a great one to have on an audience – inflicting upon listeners this undeniable desire to press play once again. There’s a feeling of safety in the sound, a comforting warmth that surrounds you and tells you about the world – without you having to go out and face it yourself; perhaps one of the more personal reasons why we love music so intensely and need it to be in our lives.
