Great production is quick to envelop listeners, as Albuquerque electronic goth artist Midnight Thorn showcases the results of an appreciated period of isolation and creative escapism.
Alone In The Darkness is a synth and rhythm-packed project, designed to explore the emotions and experiences of the artist in relation to this sudden extended journey through self-discovery and dark musical escapism.
The production stands tall in this regard, with the opening track Intro marking an intriguing and quickly engaging realm of sound. Then we move into the likes of Love to Hate, and a deep but quiet vocal offers a touch of eighties expression and lyrical reflection – a dash of performative intensity – to proceedings, and the album continues to build creatively upon all of this.
Consider the progressive rise and fall of Lost In The Jungle – a strange balancing of fun and outright intoxicating lostness, with energetic synths and snappy vocal refrains.
Alone in the Darkness is an eclectic but well-grounded project, and it speaks volumes on behalf of the creative possibilities that lie within true solitary commitment to the process.
