about

Known for their eclectic taste in aesthetics and wide range of sampling sources, c a l d o r 32x returns with their newest album yet. While it works within the bounds of many attributes of the mallsoft style, a nuanced approach to the effects backing its smooth sounds add a thinner veil to the layers between instruments. In turn, this allows it to be relaxing without leaning too much into the lull that some works in the style tend to go for.

By doing this, more of the samples have been allowed to spring forth and shine, electric riffs on tracks like 🇪‌🇨‌🇴‌🇳‌🇴‌🇲‌🇮‌🇨‌ 🇩‌🇪‌🇳‌🇮‌🇦‌🇱‌ - (𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦) bleeding through the reverberance due to their punchiness. In a mallsoft atmosphere, this only becomes that much more effective, drawn directly to the forefront between more subdued portions.

Variety also manages to shine through, with some tracks blurred much more heavily than the ones surrounding them, serving as a contrast that makes the brighter, more energetic pieces burst through. Tones shift subtle sometimes, and heavily at others, making it feel as if the listener is moving through many different areas within the album itself.
