Title	: Mood Obsidian
Artist	: Only Swallow
Genre	: Electronic, Ambient, Hypnagogic
Released: 2017

The lucid, hypnagogic ambient electronic music crafted by Only Swallow has
stirred some buzz in the underground electronic ambient scene, especially
among fans of the aurawire label. On his 2017 LP "Mood Obsidian", Only
Swallow creates a flowing, ethereal field of lights and sounds that make
you feel like you're adrift in some neon city of tunnels, much like the
album artwork itself. The opener, "Lightsick" is perhaps my favorite
electronic piece of all time, and the closer, "Love", feels so forlorn, yet
accepting and happy. In between, you'll find entrancing layers of noise,
passages of quiet pads, sudden stabs of derezzed white noise, and more.
While it isn't as experimental as his followup album, "Stars Die, People
Die", I feel that "Mood Obsidian" captures the ephemeral, hypnagogic nature
of Only Swallow's work perfectly.
