Hideous by numeral: Review

‘Hideous’ is a downtempo electronica soundtrack that highlights the Swiss producer, numeral’s painstaking sound design and ability to create a musical cosmos. It has thundering sub-basses, sophisticated music design, and at times dark and apocalyptic environments. The beat-driven electronica and bright ambient components provide a stimulating and organic experience for the listener, transporting them into numeral’s own realm.

The artist spent most of the summer of 2022 performing live and recording new material. Over the years, numeral has honed his own production techniques and style thanks to his experience as a drummer for a number of Swiss indie bands, including The Lugubrious and Faux Tales. He is capable of making music that is both ominous and uplifting in his solo projects, and he often manipulates, dissects, and reassembles sounds meticulously to bring out their full potential.

If you are looking for something new and exciting in electronic music, then you need to give ‘Hideous’ a listen. Numeral comes from a drumming background, pays close attention to detail, and is not afraid to try new things, all of which shine through in this single. If you have never been on a musical adventure through a realm of rumbling sub-basses, smart audio design, and moody landscapes, prepare for an unforgettable encounter.
