The
music of Soon is not so easy to describe, as this is one of those instances
where the music in many ways transcends the audio and becomes all too
visual. It begins with static drone and
sort of pained screams, but that does turn into this soft, soothing sound such
as waves crashing at sea. What’s more
so is that not only does it sound like those waves, but perhaps as if it sounds
like the audio is coming straight from a buoy, which definitely puts more of a
picture in my head than the thought of comparing this to someone else
musically.
There
then becomes this sort of singing or chanting almost, which leads us into a
pretty melodic piece on the second track with guitar riffs. Frequency screeches come into play as well,
and I am transported out of the ocean, as if I was a seagull on that buoy and I
am now being carried away by a hawk. Gutiar loops and amp buzz give way to an
eventual shot at rolling through acoustic guitar chords, complete with haunts
and laser whooshes.
With
an almost spoken word, sort of distant classicly trained singing bit, we end up
with a little Metallica sounding guitar work at the end. Though this cannot be ended without saying
that “Taken by Fixture” has a certain sort of sad tone to it, and perhaps this
is one of those tragedies such as “Finding Nemo” without the happy ending.
