The End of the Beginning
by Jetfire Prime
supported by 18 fans who also own “Star Gaze”
From the album opener to the closing, you experience what I shall henceforth call GALACTIC synthwave due to its powerful sweeping analog synthesizer melodies, its thick meaty rhythms (no rinkydink sounding drum machines here), its fat, cosmic arpeggios, and of course its sometimes death-defying musical chord choices (listen to "New Beginnings"). Sonically expansive. Loud and conquering. Lovingly assembled. Beautifully produced.

Subsonic Eye combines math rock, dream pop, and guitar sounds borrowed from post-rock for songs that whirl and flurry, but never quite settle.

Drawing on everything from soft-focus C86 like The Field Mice to distortion-heavy shoegaze, “Eulogies” is pop perfection.

This is a cool mix of heavy guitar, progressive songwriting, and electronic music with a ton of melody and groove, an excellent guitar tone, and some very fine playing. This one is definitely worth the price of admission!
