Electronic/Review Deep Dive Species - Penultimate
Deep Dive Species were formed during (and basically because of) the 2020 lockdown in New York. One part of the duo is Vadim Militsin, an electronic scene veteran who stands behind numerous projects like AUTiSM, Logica Abstracta, and Robotov-Millentrop. The other component of this unlikely mixture is Sergey Popovich, a guitarist and vocalist with a string of projects, like Vopli Vodoplyasova, famous in and beyond his native Ukraine, Hey! Lubo!, and the NY-based Goodswan.
The fourth single from Deep Dive Species' "Habitat" album, "Penultimate," is one of the most grandiloquent and cinematic tracks to date. It's easy to envision "Penultimate" appearing in a range of visual media, from feature films to documentaries, blogs, and even advertising, since this tune demonstrates the band's capacity to produce music that is both vast and emotionally evocative.
Immediately setting a tragic tone, the music starts with an ambient build-up. "Penultimate" is also another illustration of Deep Dive Species' mastery in genre fusion. To create a deep and complex soundtrack, the song smoothly incorporates elements of alternative, post-rock, trip-hop, and electronica. To add much more levels of complexity and intensity to the mix, they also throw in some IDM and dubstep this time. Upon completion, the listener is left with a fascinating and lively structure that enthralls them throughout.
The capacity of "Penultimate" to arouse powerful emotional and visual images without having a conventional soundtrack is one of its most notable features. The track's painstaking production and arrangement give it a cinematic feel. The combination of throbbing percussion, sweeping synthesizers, and complex guitar work conveys a feeling of grandeur and urgency. This is further heightened by the ebb and flow of the music, which transports the listener through tonal peaks and troughs.
"Penultimate" maintains Deep Dive Species' distinctive aesthetic while being a movie production. As a reflection of the band's dedication to stretching artistic limits, the genre fusion sounds natural and well-executed. The modern and inventive sound is maintained with the addition of dubstep and IDM components.
Ultimately, Deep Dive Species' "Penultimate" is a brilliant combination of musical style creativity and massive cinematic style. This music illustrates the band's flexibility and creative vision as well as their capacity to make remarkably listenable and emotionally impactful music. The album "Habitat" has more the epic hit, "Penultimate," which would be a a strong example of Deep Dive Species' developing skill and their ability to have a great impact in the music business.
