Angelus’ sound is magnetic. Its thematic futurism is characteristic of the popular music genre called “hyperpop”. Angelus’ utilization of distinctive rap elements in their interpretation of hyperpop further individualizes their sound amongst Soundcloud’s artistic sphere. With release “symposium”, self described as a “dancehall” track, angelus cements their sound and proves their craft is able to evolve and continuously improve. “Symposium’s” release is perfect for the year 3000 – something you would hear walking into a club where people have on rectangular chrome shades and outfits are made of geometric shapes. Its release encapsulates a rare musical reality, an exciting glimpse into the makers of tomorrow’s sound. In a short minute and forty-five seconds angelus delivers an exceptional song and an inimitable sensory experience.
The instrumental is produced by @rioleyva, @thecxdy & @prodnash. It notably features a low cyber bass, fast drums, and a background chime melody. Angelus begins to sing with a vocal effect that lends itself perfect to the robotic tune. The lyrics “I’m so drunk at the function I cant walk straight, too much money in my pocket like I robbed the bank” repeat in your brain due to their placement in the song’s sonic atmosphere.
The song’s appraisal is evident in the Soundcloud comments filled with phrases like “no like next level”, “singlehandedly saved summer 2020”, and “1 0 0, 1 0 0, 1 0 0”. I encourage you to be one of the first passengers aboard the spaceship: take a trip into the cyberspace created by Soundcloud’s rising artists.
