Gem FM – ‘Sonic Boom’
US-based musician Gem FM has released the brilliant album ‘Sonic Boom’. It is a prog-rock release you need to know about this Autumn 2022.
‘SwagR’ opens the release and instantly draws the listener in. As the punchy beat drops, we find ourselves fully invested. We love the dancing melodies that fill the sonic spectrum with vivid colour.
‘RazL’ is a standout song. It features upbeat instrumentation, joyous melodies and a stunning rhythm section. In addition, ‘Serrated’ is a brooding song that takes the audience on a journey.
Moreover, ‘Boodal’ is an intelligently composed song with intricate percussion, memorable melodies and ever-evolving instrumentation. Finally, ‘Slide On Down’ closes the release and wraps the album beautifully. ‘Sonic Boom’ needs to be heard to be fully appreciated.
Comments
Gem FM says about writing the release, “I started mixing bits and pieces from different genres, and a sort of methodology emerged that formed the basis for Sonic Boom. I used more 808-style bass sounds and grooves for a solid bottom end.” He continues, “I also incorporated some more traditional instrument sounds in the mix. As the tune evolves, it lets me know what needs to be added.”
