Two new tracks from Weston Smith, “Regeneration” and “Netherworld” continues the artist’s knack for hypnotic, psych-friendly electronic pop. Evidenced already in prior gems like “Mirror World” and “Ellanor,” Weston Smith furthers his impressive, creative output here. “Regeneration” touts a darkly intoxicating synth-pop push, reminiscent of John Maus. Smith’s vocals tout a brooding, spaced by twinkling keys as the two-minute mark approaches. The track’s continuous, blaring nature of electronics plays effectively alongside the hypnotic croon.
True to its name, “Netherworld” plays fit for a midnight service in a Gothic cathedral — the organ-like procession meshing with haunting brass for a thoroughly captivating sound. Similar to “Regeneration,” its atmosphere is wholly memorable. Both these tracks are an impressive showing from Weston Smith.
