I was reading about some health care bill when I started to listen to this; before my very eyes, it transformed into the ballad of the robot apocalypse. Well, fine, maybe that was just the song.
I don't really know why I put off listening to this for a few days. So damn good.
You hear the proverbial hammer hit steel on the first robot as the song begins. Then there is the eerie booting noise, and I you become afraid. It rises in a crescendo, ending abruptly as the final hammer falls. Eerie quiet, then shrill scream builds almost too swiftly, cowing me, and Cosmic hits me with the breakdown. It's an obvious assault after a moment of terror, and it's beautifully effective. At 1:29, we hear one getting close, beginning to chatter like a hunting cat. A melody builds quietly behind it, and the pace switches up, Cosmic taking care to never let us get too comfortable. The floor drops out at 2:12, and the subtle synth in the background starts raising hope to the table, the computer babble overtop taking a different tone now. At 2:45, things have changed completely. There's still a battle, no mistake, but with that triumphant new voice maybe there's a chance. Can't wait to hear how it ends, pretty positive that's not the final release.
Cosmic is an [as of yet] unsigned Spanish producer who apparently speaks not a word of English. Check out his SoundCloud here.
