“Roads” feels innately grandiose. A seismic and intense piece from this Singapore based artist that draws from and interpolates/covers Portishead’s classic song of the same name, this version takes the song into a different space through an enveloping electronic pop reverberation that echoes all around. Combining elements of live instrumentation with more carefully projected synth work across, this rendition of Roads doubles on the haunting quality of the original. It’s dreamlike, surrealist, and an altogether ethereally magnificent piece that elevates you while you’re going through it.
A mesmerising rendition that’s rivetingly rousing at a visceral level.
