CØLDSTAR - I See A Light
I See A Light is a sonic feast for the senses as much as it is a visual one, CØLDSTAR has outdone their usual excellence in this one. The German duo has a unique brand of music. It falls into the grunge-synth-pop genre, a set sounds that's so fresh to the ears. The duo, Martin Baumann and Michael Freund, each have their own sensibilities when it comes to music making, but when they come together, they gift the world with magic through their music. I See A Light carries with it a distinct soundscape that imprints in your body. The track carries the energy of an intergalactic Frankenstein’s monster that knows how to get the groove on. While the track carries dark tones of music, it creates a rich set of images in the listener’s imagination. “I can hear the beating of my heart; it’s the only thing that’s true in a world that’s so new. I want to feel pleasure and pain to know that I’m alive again.” The lyrics are a mix of dread and the desire to live. The duo drives home this attitude that if tomorrow is not given, today is our only option to live. Of course, the song would be a perfect song for End of Days or even Frankenstein and his beautiful monster if the book or play was set in an outer space world. The track is highly evocative. It awakens our senses that are numbed by the macabre pop music in the mainstream pop music market. CØLDSTAR is invaluable to the current indie music scene as they give it an edge and a sense of character with their poetic goth-synth-pop numbers.
