Timothy and the Apocalypse

The latest installation of sonic transcendence, Late Night Call, from the Sydney-based sound designer Timothy and the Apocalypse, is one that you will want to answer.

Capturing the after-dark glow, the downtempo drum & bass spilling of synaesthesia extends the atmosphere of metropolitan twilight, defined by the ambience of streaming taillights and the idealized atmosphere which breeds intimacy and romanticism. For anyone who fails to find sentimentality under the harsh light of day, Late Night Call is the ultimate inky soundscape. Nyctophiles, have your fill.

Timothy and the Apocalypse set up a new installation of downtempo disenchanted catharsis with his latest trip-hop single, Shadows of the Lost

Timothy and the Apocalypse

Watching the Sydney, Australia producer Timothy and the Apocalypse as he becomes a rare 21st-century success story with his cinematic indie beats that are shifting him ever closer to the million streams mark with his discography has been a sense of contentment in itself.

With soundscapes crafted for the end of the world, which effortlessly gel with your own despondence, the tranquillity within his downtempo trip-hop tracks offers a breeze of disenchanted catharsis. His latest single, Shadows of the Lost, is no exception. The wavy psychedelic aesthetic of Shadows of the Lost touches on the phenomenon of disconnection which is as steady as the beats in severing connections in our isolated age.

As the synthetic vocals drift in at the mid-point mark, as though they have appeared from a black-and-white film, they remind us that the control we believe we have over our lives is nothing but an illusion. Tony Robins may not agree, but given that he’s probably responsible for the clinical burnout and appeal of pyramid schemes for his fans, we’d like to hear him argue with this compellingly chilling exposition of the end days.

Shadows of the Lost will officially release on December 22nd. Pre-save it here.
