Surplus, the latest album release by Olumpus, is a well-crafted collection of electronic beats and ambient soundscapes that takes listeners on a journey through various moods and emotions. The album opens with "A New Day," a track that sets the tone with its upbeat rhythm and uplifting melody. This is followed by "Lost in the Woods," a more introspective piece that showcases Olumpus' ability to create rich, layered soundscapes that evoke a sense of mystery and wonder.
As the album progresses, the listener is taken on a sonic journey that explores the many facets of electronic music, from the glitchy, frenetic energy of "Circuit Bending" to the dreamy, atmospheric textures of "Into the Abyss." Throughout the album, Olumpus demonstrates a mastery of production techniques, using a wide range of sounds and effects to create a rich, immersive listening experience.
One standout track on the album is "The Last Dance," a hauntingly beautiful piece that combines melancholic piano melodies with lush, cinematic strings and ethereal vocal samples. It's a powerful and emotional track that showcases Olumpus' ability to create music that is both evocative and deeply affecting.
