Niser - Urban Synth
Niser's 'Urban Synth' is a sonic masterpiece that weaves a hypnotic tapestry of hip hop and synthwave influences, creating a mesmerizing journey through minimalist, atmospheric, and brooding soundscapes. The album's title aptly encapsulates its essence—an exploration of urban influences that intertwine contemporary sounds with a nostalgic nod to the past.
The pulsating basslines and rhythmic beats serve as the backbone of the album, grounding it in a distinct urban vibe. Meanwhile, the inclusion of spooky choirs, haunting strings, and ethereal synths elevates the music to cinematic heights, immersing the listener in a post-apocalyptic dreamscape. Niser's ability to conjure subtle melodies adds an extra layer of depth, making 'Urban Synth' a truly immersive experience.
Hailing from Switzerland, Niser's musical journey began in 2000, and 'Urban Synth' stands as a testament to his growth and evolution as an artist. Influenced by icons like Mylène Farmer, Laurent Boutonnat, Madonna, Benny Benassi, Jean-Michel Jarre, and the Pet Shop Boys, Niser's diverse inspirations shine through, creating a rich and unique sonic palette.
The album seamlessly blends reworked tracks from Niser's earlier discography with brand new titles, including standout compositions like 'City Lighting' and 'Praying' featuring Hemanifezt. A remix of 'Néon Light' by HeartBeatHero adds an exciting twist to the collection.
'Urban Synth' is more than just an auditory experience; it's a journey. As Niser aptly puts it, it's the ideal soundtrack for strolling through an empty city on a crisp autumn evening or finding warmth in front of the fire during a rainy night. The album's duality is further emphasized by its availability in two distinct versions—the original downtempo and a sped-up iteration, offering listeners the choice to tailor their experience.
Available on all major streaming platforms, 'Urban Synth' invites music enthusiasts to immerse themselves in Niser's sonic universe. This album is not just a collection of tracks; it's a captivating exploration of urban soundscapes, seamlessly blending the old and the new, the atmospheric and the rhythmic, to create a truly unforgettable musical journey."
