The Aftermath by Sombertrap: Review
Sombertrap is a solo artist who makes stunning instrumental melodies. “The Aftermath” is a slow-jazz-inspired piece, where graceful piano bits take hold followed by resonating basslines and minimal percussions. The song is the very essence of “short and sweet” clocking in at just a minute and a half, all the while ensuring a spellbinding tune.
“The Aftermath” creates a musical balance between modern classical and dive bar jazz. Evidently, it’s brilliant how Sombertrap composed such an atmospheric song, you can hear it repeatedly on a lazy Saturday afternoon with a guaranteed wholesome feel. The aforementioned genres are quite popular with the masses and their contemporary charm plays a key role in musical culture. Talking about culture excites me as it defines how we speak to one another. Similarly, with the right melody playing in the background, a conversation between two strangers can smoothly carry out, almost like they knew each all along. Altogether, Sombertrap’s melody is ideal to hear with a group, either silently or vibing out while a laid-back party takes place.
The production of “The Aftermath” was quite polished. The piano’s flow throughout the track, and how in particular areas the bass joins in, was a lovely aura to experience and consume. The bass portions of this number flourished, and the sound had a nice jazzy tone. Almost ambient in nature, the instrument’s grip is a lovely addition, and overall Sombertrap’s composition is musical bliss at its finest.
