Anthony Casuccio just released today his new EP titled “Systematic”, and it is a blast to go through its 5 tracks, an enjoyable ride.
Anthony hails from East Amherst, USA, and with more than 25 years in the music business, Anthony is an established veteran in the field of music production and engineering…Actually, he does all his recording, mixing, and mastering in his studio business ‘Xtream Audio”.
Anthony had his music played on air in over 70 countries…and his music appeared on several TV shows too.
This time, Anthony leaned a bit away from his usual guitar-centric production and more into an EDM dance environment where he still maintains the presence of his guitar works.
The EP starts with “Love, PT 2.0”, a dance electronic pop song with waving arpeggios, huge soundscapes, and of course a guitar solo…this is part of Anthony’s essence and who he is…
Going into the second track, you’ll see “After The Fall”…it’s an upbeat song with beautiful lyrics…the structure of the song makes great space for melodic vocal lines…and this time the piano is highlighted in several parts…I know what you’re thinking…and yes, it has a beautiful guitar solo…maybe if it were just a bit longer…
“Lighthouse” starts hot and keeps building up and evolving, sonically and structurally…till it reaches the highest point, and then…it surprises you, it plateaus for a second, only to hit you hard after that with a sonic surprise…with the guitar solo, it maintains the fingerprint of Anthony.
Anthony has a very distinct character, an upbeat mood with fast and energetic beats along with a melodic guitar solo…and I love how his character and his passion appear in his music…
…going further into the EP we got to listen to “Why Wait”, and Anthony changes the whole EP experience on its head here…this song is more of an electronic ballad…with a relaxed tempo and minimal instrumentation during the verses and a beautiful chord progression building up to the chorus…the chorus is big and anthemic…and yes, there is a mini guitar solo here near the end of the song…
“Motion” is the last track in the EP and it’s an instrumental…it takes us back into the uptempo of the previous tracks, with a more trance intro that quickly evolves into a heavier electro-pop area…there are some minimal rock elements thrown here and there that adds to the experience…
“Systematic” builds up from a great starting point and ends up on a high note…
It’s an enjoyable electronic ride with guitar solos everywhere to be found, so basically everyone will find something to love about the EP experience.
Anthony, we wish you all the best in life, you deserve the best.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with next time.
Cheers!
