Horizon – “Walking”

Israel-based producer Horizon consumes on “Walking,” a track whose atmospheric electronic unveiling succeeds across both sparse serenity and vibrant swells. Representing the lead single to Horizon’s new album I Can See The Music, “Walking” encapsulates both a creative turning point and the broader vision of the album it represents. Written and recorded in Horizon’s bedroom studio during an intensely focused period, the song reflects a conscious departure from hip-hop frameworks toward darker, perception-driven electronic sound design. Sparked by a breakup and inspired by Gesaffelstein’s immersive aesthetics, “Walking” is representative of the strong quality throughout an album conceived as a continuous, cinematic experience.

“Walking” unfolds with a climactic, enjoyable allure. Stabs of spacey synths complement a panting rhythmic presence, conveyed via percussion and a slight, wordless vocal element — fading as gargled bass currents and lush synth chords inject cohesively. An especially resonant rise takes hold around mid-point, when a swelling synth drives into a brief, dreamy vocal snippet that lingers momentarily with stutter-y infectiousness as more ardent synth tones emerge. “Walking” is a standout track that envelops in its palpable momentum and tonal variety, succeeding across both initial minimalist electronic intrigue and later effervescent expanses. It’s one of many highlights throughout I Can See The Music.
