Watch: Wave Machines – Home [Best Fit Premiere]
Liverpool’s Wave Machines match the video-game synth sound of the latest single from their sophomore record Pollen, with equally futuristic visuals.
The plodding layers of electronic sounds are neatly married to the floating journey from a Jurassic underworld all the way to the edges of the universe, as smooth vocals sore over the deep pedal rumblings. Our exploration feels safe and tranquil, with only very gentle dissonance hinting at destruction; however, a falsetto-heavy crescendo emerges almost guiding the animation to an unexpected and disturbing conclusion.
The closing-stages bring to mind the likes of, Post War Years and The Flaming Lips and offer a unnervingly calming soundtrack to the catastrophe. Fly ‘Home’ with this Best Fit Premiere above.
