Case Trick returns with a new release that serves as a soundtrack to an original motion picture called METRO9. This is a brilliant set of pieces that span electronic and vast soundscapes with expansive underbellies and edgy overtones that all come together to create a massive atmosphere that you end up getting engulfed in quite quickly.
The Metro9 soundtrack is encased with layers of textures and tones that fall on top of each other to create these pieces of music that come through with waves of intensity at different times. You can really get wrapped up in everything if you listen to the record from beginning to end.
This is not an instrumental record. There's a lot of instrumentation going on with both natural and digital sets of tones coming together but there are also vocals in different parts of the record. Sometimes those vocals are used more like an instrument where they add haunting notes that fade in and out of tracks but other times you have lyrics as well.
The whole thing still has a great experimental side to it where it's a little bit trippy and some of the rhythmic approaches are really enticing and alluring but the whole thing really feels like an escape which serves well because it is indeed the soundtrack to a film after all.
Keeping things cinematic was definitely something kept in mind when creating this record of course and you can hear that in the attention to detail and that vast tonality of the entire thing, but you also have songs that are more driving than others.
You have tracks with deep grooves that are completely danceable, and you also have tracks that are more theatrical, cinematic, and have that widened atmosphere that keeps two synth pads and guitars that flow through the ethers of the songs.
It's quite an amazing approach and for Case Trick it feels like maybe he was meant to do just that.
It certainly sounds like it was a lot of fun creating this thing and there are a lot of pieces of music throughout it with an album giving to previous pieces but with a different twist.
You can tell that there is definitely a theme to the album as of course there would be a theme to the film and the artist did an outstanding job of keeping to those themes but still being wildly eclectic and rambunctious when he felt like it.
Perhaps that's what the scenes called for at the time. Either way, this was done with a lot of attention to detail, but it still had a certain level of that theme always embedded in its veins.
I absolutely adore some of the synth and key sounds and tones that were chosen throughout this record because it really helps shape the aesthetic of the way the album feels, and this is really important especially when it comes to creating a soundtrack for a film or a very lengthy album that has to feel consistent in different ways.
This is exactly what I mean by there being a lot of attention to detail during its creation.
You have some great beats, amazing since, and just these beautiful layers that come through here and there and all of it comes together to build on this one massive record that feels really cool to get engulfed in and swim around through.
I definitely loved this album and if you're someone who likes experimental electronic or cinematic style material then this is 100% for you because it is outside the box, avant-garde, charismatic, it has ranges of emotion and intensities, and it was put together with a certain level of perfectionism which I find enticing.
Check this record out and while you're at it you can also check out the film itself where we have links for everything below to purchase the film, listen to the soundtrack, and more.
Sit down, lean back, pop on some headphones cuz that's the best way to do it, and soak this record in.
