Last year, we had the honour of featuring Silvermouse as they set out to expand consciousness with the intricate, psychedelic and magnetic composition, Beyond the Dream Drum, so when we heard that they had also just released Tripgnosis, we knew we were in for some innovation and couldn’t wait to listen and feed back on the track!
Immersing us with a meditative frequency crescendo and nuanced mandolin sound design, we are also fully in awe of the cosmic and astral soundscape that Silvermouse create with Tripgnosis.
The hypnotizing opus expands melodic detailing as we are drawn further into the expansive energy that Silvermouse share with their psychedelic and healing sonic universe.
The percussive elements ground us as the composition evolves, tapping into our lower chakras whilst simultaneously raising the vibration though our core, our kundalini energy and beyond.
Elaborating on the notion of the release, Silvermouse confess, “The track is a hypnotic meeting of mandolin and electronica, supported by the consciousness-altering signals of Monroe Sound Science, a technology similar to binaural beats, without the need for headphones.” We learn that the single was released on February 2, which is Imbolc, also known as the dawning of spring in the northern hemisphere.
The talented and universally aligned creators continue with depth, “The sounds of Tripgnosis combine the organic and digital, a duality we are all living, and create an evocative listening experience and an atmosphere of surreal beauty. The spatial mandolin weaves together with glitchy bass lines and driving beats to create an engaging and captivating soundscape.”
We are in awe of the tabla finale, with industrial electronic bass fused cohesively to create a breathtaking cerebral tapestry of sound. The release comes before the band’s February mini-tour which included a local full moon show in their hometown of Rincon, Puerto Rico, before heading north for shows at Earthdance in Plainfield, MA, and the Brooklyn Lair in Brooklyn, NY.
We love the intention, and spiritual authenticity that Silvermouse share with Tripgnosis and their wider body of work, and have added the incredibly inspiring composition to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream their wider discography!
