A Fresh Release from Father Figure
A wildly addictive new single from Father Figure just dropped, and this track brings together some of the best dance and electronica-style beats and approaches that I've heard in quite some time, simply because of how it blends these massive elements of natural and digital instrumentation to create something that grooves hard but also surprises you with explosive breaks.
"Abracadabra Holmes" is a track that brings subtle keys and synths along with live guitar that just jams out, along with these classic vintage sounding tones. It all just comes to life and puts you right there in the moment with the song.
The track showcases such a great ability to layer synths and make it work to create something that feels classic but also super new at the same time.
The beat is sort of subtle until the track explodes into that heavy-handed and rambunctiously wobbling dubstep approach.
The way this song incorporates and fuses all these different styles is outstanding.
Through the more subtle sections before the explosive break and dubstep parts, the song does groove, and throughout that, you have this guitar that's just jamming out and doing lead/solo stuff, but it's got soul.
This is cool because the texture in the feel of the live electric guitar with the keys, since, and beats work like magic.
This creates a kind of cinematic atmosphere, and it's the type of thing that becomes alluring and almost intriguing.
What's even cooler is the fact that even throughout the heavy dubstep parts you're still getting some great lead licks on that guitar.
The guitar basically never stops, and I find that to be so refreshing because normally you don't hear those kinds of textures or instruments infused with each other the way they're doing it here.
They're usually somewhat separated, but here it's more like a free flow, and this gives the song the element of improvisation, which is brilliant because the electronic parts of the song are so well placed and climactic, building, explosive, and flowing.
So, you have these great and well-composed and ranged electronic parts that blend genres and break out into heavier sections, and all the while, you have this guitar that's just ripping great soulful solos almost freestyle throughout this entire thing.
The improvisational and well-placed elements come together like pieces of a puzzle, and the song ends up being something insanely memorable.
As the song unfolds further and you dig deeper into it, it starts to become a little bit more breakbeat or jungle style, some would say.
The beat becomes a little bit more sporadic, faster, a little crazier, until it breaks into that halftime dubstep again, and all the while the guitar is just going.
It's a straight jam through, and it just feels good to crank out loud.
You definitely get some awesome experimental and outside-the-box approaches, and again, just this fusion of genres that come flowing in and out, surprising you but pulling you in for the dance ability and groove of it all.
This definitely boasts its own aesthetic, and it's one of the newest releases from the Grand Alliance Music label, which is always dropping bombs when you least expect them.
This is a hell of a track and speaks volumes for the label and how they almost always eclectically bring diversity into their roster in terms of musical influence and approach.
Grand Alliance has a crazy roster, and if you dig this track, then there are literally tons that you can chew on.
For that, you just want to go to their website, which is https://www.
