Cosmic Echoes by John Leslie Hulcombe: Review

John Leslie Hulcombe has composed a spiritual, and atmospheric instrumental track entitled ‘Cosmic Echoes’. The song is arranged with one of the best guitar playthroughs I have heard in a while. From beautiful chord progressions to solos, everything feels like a breath of fresh air. The track is almost meditative, you can close your eyes and John will transport you to a place outside the Universe in a special realm where ‘Cosmic Echoes’ will grace your soul.

There are some piano and synth elements, especially for the rhythm sections. John’s piece is a genre of post-rock, instrumental music, and a bit of progressive music as well. The piano elements, especially at the beginning of the song are very majestic. It has a rich tone and blends beautifully with the entire song. The interlude in the middle of the song where the drums aren’t playing all that much is interesting. John manages to blend the bass, and two guitars quite remarkably. Drum cymbals are played a little to add a dramatic effect.

Since John’s debut album was released in 2020, it has had considerable airplay on independent radio stations in a plethora of nations. Also, his music has over 230,000 streams on Spotify, allowing it to reach an audience all around the world. ‘Cosmic Echoes’ is a perfect name fit for the song, because when you hear it, you’ll be like “oh yeah totally this is some magical space stuff bruh”. Anyway, I loved listening to this track and look forward to more work by John Leslie Hulcombe.
