‘mark’ is a powerful piece of ambient electronic music from a producer with far more depth than most. The song deals with loss, with an energy that teeters between a glum darkness and a hopeful optimism. A unique confluence, and an even more difficult to execute premise. The song finds itself through editing multiple vocal s recorded by Choruses from the Rock to combine into a full bodied piece. There’s elements of garage, of synths, and of electronica all strewn across. It’s a hypnotic tune, the kind that has you absolutely mesmerized and transfixed on its sheen.
Combining glistening synth work that scream hope alongside a dreary and melancholic chord progression, es.cher manages to lift diametrically opposed themes into a singular medley that has you confounded and astounded. An all round magical piece of electronic music that truly is able to illustrate the capabilities of the genre in evoking feeling beyond your immediate comprehension.
