Laurelight invites listeners on a captivating sonic journey with his EP, “The Tunnel.” This collection of five tracks delivers a mesmerizing blend of electro-pop, pulsating synths, and chill-pop vibes that will leave you immersed in a world of ethereal soundscapes.
The EP kicks off with “Deep In The Dark,” a hypnotic opening track that sets the tone for the waves of synth to wash over you, creating a dreamlike atmosphere while the thin yet electrifying vocals of Laurelight lead the way.
“Open Your Eyes” follows, infusing a sense of urgency, mystery, and moody darkness into the EP. “Brighter Days” brings a much-needed message of hope and self-care.
The title track, “The Tunnel,” takes a darker turn, delving into a mysterious and introspective realm. The lyrics paint a picture of navigating through a metaphorical tunnel, facing uncertainty and grappling with inner demons or “something darker than stormy clouds.”
The verses erupt with a surge of electrifying and pulsating synths, amplifying the intensity of the emotions conveyed that suddenly halts with a beat drop to a cinematic chorus dramatically sung in the lines, “I am in the Tunnel/ I don’t know if I get out/ Darkness all around/ No reason to carry on.”
Closing the EP on a peaceful note is “Peaceful,” a track that offers solace and tranquility with vocals showcasing Laurelight’s huge range. The track is more cinematic and epic with its high tide of cinematic verses and instrumentals. Perhaps that is what it takes to be peaceful.
If you’re searching for an EP that transports you to a dreamy realm while touching your soul, “The Tunnel” is the perfect sonic escape.
