Human After All
Recently, I've been interested in dubstep and sampling and other sounds and tunes that sound like these. They're deeper I guess, than the normal indie trash that I listen to. The beats are bassier, almost with this oppressive moodiness. And the gaps saturated with cracks, bleeps, echoes and sometimes really really long solemn silences. I like it because it's unpredictable, not like the usual intro-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-outro structured pop songs. But it's repetitive at the same time with micro-samples looping on and on. I like the fact that the vocal samples are altered, pitched and reverberated that almost make it sound almost inhuman and yet, it feels warm and fuzzy and entirely relatable.
