An ambient success that delights across both spacious dreaminess and more glimmering intensity, “Remission” comes via UK-based artist Fonnic, who describes it as “about the feeling of emerging from something that has changed you. There is relief in surviving it, but also a sadness in realising that you can’t simply return to the person you were before.”
Simmering layers of synths build gradually across the production’s first minute. Blaring pads and twinkling melodic progressions intertwine past the one-minute turn, excelling with a riveting soundscape that’s beautifully introspective and emotive. The effervescent midpoint cohesively traverses to a quieter realm thereafter, and then into a delectably lulling outro. “Remission” is an enveloping output from Fonnic.
