These colourful columns of dilapidated inhibition, stylized distortion set against pure synthesized tones.

Rustling leaves set against the isolation in your headphones.

Where the light hits the atmosphere, or a wave of dust. When it rainbows.

That’s touching without surface. Small craft on a visualizer sea.

Kodiak’s Spreo Superbus is a dense, replay worthy single, when paired with the film-negative colour-palette and shifting walls which recall a warp-speed wormhole from a sci-fi feature, it can’t be thought of as anything less than taking you on a journey. Twist-tie hooks meld into the soundscape like René Magritte’s horse (you wonder what it would feel like to come in contact with a treacherous image, the same?). Left free floating, the synthesizer wash is as full and lively as bacteria swabs, technicolour yawns. A bit sickening. The track gives you a glimpse of that, letting the beat drop out momentarily and shifting into one such glitching surreal forest, but it’s the rest of the time that an out-of-place, world bound parade of bouncing percussion keeps it locked down into reality.
