AMAWALK cultivates reverberant atmospheres and intuitive arrangements with his dual-track release, Flubbed, taking full advantage of stereo space and musical modalities. It’s his second release through The Rust Music, and a potent expansion of his immersive, genre-blending style.
The one-two punch packaged up in Flubbed is a duality of rhythm and sensuality. Ambient pads and stereophonic echoes combine with world-fusion percussion to create a primal listening experience. The phrasing is simple and elaborate at the same time, showcasing strong songwriting evolution paired with bold sound design choices and a sense of note relationships. Both tunes build on powerful root melodies and syncopated harmonies, so there’s a distinct alliteration to the EP. Open to close, Flubbed is an emotive wave of choice engineering and crisp compositions that aptly displays the ongoing growth of AMAWALK’s musical vision.
