Andrew Vogt’s highly-anticipated “Awakening” is an ideal physique of labor.

3. Nightfall

“Nightfall” is my favourite observe from this venture. It options distinctive vocals from Sarah Marie Younger and Sharon Irving. The duo delivers a dreamy vocal efficiency and a strong rap verse, capturing the sensation of craving for somebody to test in in your well-being. The strings from ATLYS and the mood-setting background work by Dustin Laurenzi (who delivers elegant saxophone play) and Quentin Coaxum (who treats us to this attractive saxophone solo) superbly complement their performances.

2. Hammerspace

The vibes begin to intensify as soon as “Hammerspace” arrives. Within the observe, we get a feverish, frenzied tempo, complemented by a fierce, aggressive solo by Dustin Laurenzi. To not be outdone, Christian Euman delivers what I consider is a commanding solo. At a sure level, you get one of the crucial attention-grabbing musical tussles you’d ever hear. Seize your popcorn.

1. Wes’ Waltz

“Wes Waltz” options Christian Euman, Stu Minderman, Hans Luchs, Dustin Laurenzi, and Quentin Coaxum.

I like the numerous layers of “Wes’ Waltz.” It options soothing passages, festive moments, and swish transitions between the 2. In line with Andrew, the music’s narrative attracts inspiration from his private experiences with the cycle of life and dying.

The music concludes with exuberant horns that fully captivate the listener. I notably take pleasure in how they intertwine with the unruly drum sample. By the tip, you’ll really feel a renewed appreciation for all times.
