Review: Eric Angelo Bessel’s single “Kindly Rewind” – Release date March 23, 2023
ROCK AT NIGHT SAYS: “Kindly Rewind” is a dreamy synthscape which embodies the celestial nature in the form of ambient music. The music is tranquil and illuminating, but at times dissonant as the pitch increases. As the song progresses, a choral wall of sound emerges, producing a floating and ethereal soundscape. I can see myself listening to this while playing video games or perhaps doing yoga. It’s calming but inspiring–perhaps a soundtrack of my life at that moment.
The full album Visitation will be released on April 21, 2023 via Lore City Music.
