Delicately uniting dreamy layers of synth, voice and gentle rhythm, amidst a poetic, equally dreamlike series of lyrics, angelically whispered into the mix like distant fragments of a church choir – Alien Tacos create an immersive, alternative trip-hop experience with Free.
Emerging complete with a video as simple and natural as the music, Free utilises a barely detectable beat on occasion, and elsewhere follows the breath-like waves of vocal melody as each line rises and falls within the soundscape.
The depths of the writing are clear yet the details remain uncertain – ‘Majestic beings Call out to me… Called out in space – I am you, you are me, we are we’. The song’s very concept, energy and performance all seem to represent a powerful dream, an escape into more complex realms, and as a piece of music the track cleverly promises this same sense of escapism to its listeners.
Blissfully calming to delve into, uniquely interesting, a hypnotic loop of contemplation and inner peace.
