With its understated ambient noise, simple percussion track, and muted but persistent atmospheric effects, “Weekends Are the Enemy” feels like waking up at the edge of the galaxy. The lush harmonies in the song pool and spread across the listener’s internal landscape like the Milky Way itself, dousing everything it touches in nostalgic luminescence unlike any other. The rich vocal stylings both anchor and propel listeners through the dreamy haze of the track. This track unfolds luxuriously, with perfect pace and timing to keep listeners hungry for each beat.
Weekends Are The Enemy – Ambientronic
Single Release – August 25, 2017
2067 AD, the luxury Skyship Solaris banks left on its auto-cruise trajectory around the sun. Beneath the transparent curve of the bio-sustainability sphere, the passengers gather sleepily on-deck. For a few brief moments, the ship holds its position at a critical degree.
Their eyes shielded with patented Neque Lumine™ visors, this year’s passengers are able to gaze into the steadily burning centre of the Yellow Dwarf. Rather than the Earth-ambient sounds that usually flood the sphere, the Captain pipes in an Ambientronic classic, “Weekends Are the Enemy,” to honour the 50th anniversary of the record-shattering chart topper.
With its understated ambient noise, simple percussion track, and muted but persistent atmospheric effects, “Weekends Are the Enemy” feels like waking up at the edge of the galaxy. The third release from their highly-anticipated EP “Tried,” the song pools and spreads across the listener’s internal landscape like the Milky Way itself, dousing everything it touches in nostalgic luminescence unlike any other.
Ambientronic’s most lyrically ambitious release to-date, the track features vocals by Addie. Her voice both anchors and propels listeners through the dreamy haze of the track.
Drawing on their recent experiences in the mystical ether of Bali, Dean and Roman have continued to push the boundaries of their craft. With shared vision and the experience of two lifetimes, they’ve matured into a voice unlike any other. Skilfully manipulating layers of sound, each song is a complex experience begging listeners to visit and revisit.
What originally seems like a simple production, peels away to reveal layers of nuance. If this gorgeous and haunting track is any indication, there is no doubt that the forthcoming album, “Tried,” will launch the innovative Electronic Duo into the endless, concentric waves of musical history.
