Bringing the world a stunning orchestral synth wave album experience, Simesky+Fritch is doing an exceptional job of bringing music fans together and simply creating beautiful melodies…their latest EP “SKALA.02” is a testament to this.
The artists behind this musical achievement are Will Wilkinson from the UK and Alex Simesky from Sweden, joining forces to bring absolutely brilliant musicality through their work.
The EP has 7-tracks… we only wish there were more, but we’re pretty sure there is more to come in the future and we will be waiting for that…in the meantime, let’s enjoy the music together…
“SKALA.02” starts with “Back and Down Again”…a symphony of synth wave to say the least…it’s got some mellow and emotional cyberpunk-ish elements in some parts, then has some banging epic sections that really elevate the experience in excellent ways.
The bass synth shines light on the way and leads us through this musical journey while we meet some awesome musical highlights along the way, like the stunning lead guitar, epic pianos, and a huge dynamic range between the mellow and the epic…the ballad approach that the song adopts is absolutely musical perfection.
…moving deeper into the album experience, we jump into “Such Imperfection”…a more upbeat electro experience, with the kick hitting really hard while synth sounds pop up from the left and right creating a huge wall of sound.
Let me take this opportunity to tell you about the unique vocal performances here; it comes completely from the heart and soul…and that translates and comes through to the audiences experiencing the music, it’s very emotional and reminds me of the time when artists really gave it their all, like the Talking Heads, Bowie and more from that golden period.
Moving to the third song on the album, “Colour Running Away” which starts with very powerful synth arps…once again with a powerful four-to-the-floor kick in the intro section, but then mixes it up and goes back and forth playing half and full-time beats.
A very unusual and unique musical composition…it feels like the David Fincher direction of songs…there is a twist coming and a huge emotional hit…brilliant.
“SKALA.02” is an amazing piece of synthwave musicality and we absolutely love it… Can’t wait to hear more of Simesky+Fritch’s musicality…we’ll be on the lookout… Wishing the artist all the best in the world.
Cheers!
