A small confession I have for CMT readers: instrumental tracks are not typically my go-to. It isn't because there aren't compelling instrumental tracks out there (there are, and I'm going to show you one in a moment) I think it's more because modern DAW software has increased the ease of making music, and the market is just saturated with people creating and sharing said creations, which are often churned out on a semi-daily basis. Not so with what I'm about to present. Realmannyg has released a new track and music video titled "Universe 4." The music video is its own bit of loveliness but I want to talk about the music.
The opening piano and guitar riffs say clearly "indie" or "dream pop" but the introduction of perfectly edited crisp drums says "no, this is electronica!" Still, the organic elements create a very live feel. It's minimalist in some ways - meaning that we can clearly hear what is in the forefront - but the mixing is so first-rate. "Universe 4" is everything that's great about new music production - delicate manipulation of sounds with catchy and beautiful lines that offer a banquet of ear candy.
