A track that feels like it stands between the intersection of unease and distortion, is ‘Alley’ by Hollywood Video Game Kill-Bot. The track makes you feel like you are a character in a video game, about to make a discovery that even the codes don’t know. The track feels like it contains two parts, one that is melodic, leading you towards and end, and one that observes you, charting your movements and feelings as you move forward.
It is a kind of track that follows you. As a listener, you feel observed as the track creates an ambience that feel like flickering lights on a deserted street. The track feels like a psychological thriller, as it makes you wait for a jump scare, but it never really arrives. The melody in the track feels like a lighthouse, while the other sonic elements feels industrial and mechanic, almost like a ship being guided to the shore.
It is the kind of track that leaves an impression on you. With its compelling energy, you’ll feel more drawn to it as you come back for repeated listens.
