Tag: 1999

We’ve spent several posts covering Corsandel over the years, so we were quite pleased when they reached out to give us a listen to their new track, “1999.” While they specialize in dense ambiance, this new single seems to eschew a more open expanse, drifting in atop a heavily synthesized bit of beats. Those synth stabs and snapping percussive runs give the track energy, while allowing the wistful tone of the lyrics to maximize their thematic thoughts, reflecting on a time when things seemed more pure and promising. The beauty of the song is that it reminded me of the promise, and maybe with that it gave me a little sadness too, knowing that everything was before me…and now, 25 years later, maybe not so much. And, maybe that forces me to look on today, find that promise and chase after it, and I’ll definitely have a nice tune to work with in doing so.
