One listen for this one.
I tried to write more about imagery than anything else and I kind of pulled it off, kind of didn’t. Sort of in the middle.

Moderat’s “3 Minutes Of” is from Moderat.

I hope you enjoy.

An ambient wave fades into a bright view, slowly rolling with a smoothness that little else can replicate. It rolls and shimmers through an endless nothingness, and in that perhaps is a dreamy loneliness. The loneliness itself is less like a wave and more constant and eternal, and on slowed sounds it presses in and expands, and it is there.

Something more distorted starts coming in and suddenly snaps everything away. A beat creates structure and keeps things feeling more hard and perhaps glitchy, and the melody remains and stretches out, but is no longer as prominent a focus. Still, it does seem to come forward in some manner and that distortion starts creeping back in, or maybe it isn’t and it’s just hovering at the edges.

The melody pulls back, leaving the beat alone in this transformed world and then it suddenly stops and the song ends.
