“Acclaimed sonic storyteller CharlestheFirst has returned via “Out of the Dark,” a psychedelic, genre-spanning adventure through sound. Purposely dropping on his birthday, the single helps turn the page from his 2019-2020 in both a personal and creative sense.”
“Each displays Mersiv’s sonic dynamism while demonstrating his ability to craft consistently engrossing art through sonic reverberation. 2020 has fluctuated in mood and tone without end and like so, Mersiv is channeling music that ranges a variety of energy and techniques in his sound design.”
“Paradise is the powerful title track that sets the healing intentions of this ambitious, yet brief project. The production opens to a spacey, harmonious soundscape; looming sonic aesthetics that serve as clouds to the distant, warped bass that begins to intrude. Hip-hop vocals fade in as weaponized synths and bass begin to layer in progressively. The vocals echo in introspective messages to the listener as the music becomes more momentous, delivering titanic and percussive waves of emotion throughout the build. The track takes over a minute before the 1:20 mark delivers a riveting and electric drop, one that ricochets vibrant sounds like water fleeing from a puddle splash.”
