It’s a hard truth to swallow, and the progression from the poetic imagery and joy of ‘Has the sun been a little warmer?’, to the ultimate self-scorn of ‘I must have been horrible’ is fiercely on point.
Bad Bubble
Atmospheric and cinematic from the opening moments of organic and electronic sound-play intertwined, Bad Bubble’s recognizable creative approach is familiar, though instantly seems to reach new levels of ambiance, for the beautiful introduction to Underscore’s Accord.
“Bad Bubble speaks to many people every day. I don’t say a word to anyone. We are two totally different people.”
Bad Bubble forever balances a sense of cinematic vastness with that of quiet contemplation. It’s an ambient realm, meditative to a degree, but it’s also an arena-ready indie anthem that aches to be witnessed in a huge and mildly-reverberating setting.
“I have always been ambitious, but my goals have changed. Right now, my allegiance is to the story. I have to get this right.”
Starting with a string arrangement initially as ominous as the project’s retro artwork, Bad Bubble ultimately delivers a complex, unpredictable and captivating audio experience, for Underscore.
