Drawing us in with an immersive and meditative synthscape, expanding with textured drums and a dimensional bass line, See Level opens his new album, All Inclusive, with a track called Window Seat as we join the creator on a cosmic adventure.
The opus expands with nothing short of instrumental mastery, astral risers, refined ebbs and flows, and a sense of drama and intrigue. Needless to say, we are in awe.
Next up is the title track of the record, All Inclusive, with takes on a chill-fi vibe with bell intricacies, atmospheric depth and textured percussion. This leads us to With or Without You which features warped vocal ad libs, and a pulsating vibe. We appreciate the warmth of the track and the diversity that See Level showcase with his skill.
Hammock n a Breeze delivers electronica meets trip-hop energy with elegant keys, whilst Fresh Fruit continues a similar theme albeit on a more minimalistic level with the sound of water and an intricate sonic architecture.
We then experience Clear Waters which shows how cohesive See Level‘s approach to the record truly is, as each track flows into the next thematically. The stand out sound design is a cerebral glitch sound which when fused with luscious risers and classic keys, creates a stunning atmosphere.
Possible features the presence of B O Ḵ Ë and holds an inspiring energy with reversed and whirring effects, leading us through Thats what she said which opens with an intricate keys performance, and a sickening bass line which is one of this highlights of the record. We are absolutely hypnotized and the sub bass adds further dimensionality, truly demonstrating the immense creative prowess that See Level holds.
Time Flys has an alternative jazz nuance, and Photos features a meditative energy, whilst Sight See…Level cements the overarching feel of the album with a sublime synth melody.
Bikini Bottoms is not an Ice Spice cover, but yet another elegant and dynamic demonstration of See Level’s outstanding skill. Picnic Tables is an emotive adventure, and Rain Presentation taps into the natural world for a moment, allowing us to connect with nature and the expansive of water.
Parting Skys is another cohesive and visionary piece, with unique instrumentation, whilst Choose your own adventure invites us to seek freedom in the art of the creator with an epic, boundless bass!
Whats in this!? opens with an astral frequency reminding us of experimental 90s songs, and we love it. Horn melodies invite us to move our bodies whilst the meditative nature of the track grounds us.
Next up is Only way Forward which feels romantic and psychedelic all at the same time, before Wishing Well immerses us, almost alluding to a full circle nature, and once again blessing us with the universal concept of water.
Finally, we experience Early Retirement which features conscious prose to guide us through concept of materialism. The track has choral vocals which feel super inspiring, truly a fitting conclusion to the record with a stunning and inspiring strings arrangement.
Speaking on the release of All Inclusive, See Level confesses, “[It is] specifically designed to turn good times into great times, the lineup is meant to play like an audible vacation.”
We deeply appreciate the trip that See Level has taken us on and how consciously reflective his artistry is. We have added Thats what she said to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the star’s first two albums, and anticipate future releases from See Level!
