The fifth release from up and coming Scottish electronic duo, ‘Limbo’ is as detached, draining, and spacious as its name would suggest. The song explores a helpless and poetic journey through space, alone and isolated in the vastness and great expanse of nothingness all around them. The luscious production doesn’t for a moment have you feeling in the throes of sadness or melancholy, rather the upbeat and spritely nature of the synth work has you almost looking at the journey as something to look forward to. It had me reminded of Treasure Planet, one of my favourite movies about space travel and adventure.
The layering of synth sounds to make a more complex and intricate texture have you feeling the complete galaxy and the sheer vastness of it all along the bright lights.
