As far as Valentine’s Day freebies go, this one from London producer and recent XLR8Rpodcast contributor Visionist is about as dark as they come. The beatless, two-minute track focuses on a ghostly melody and soft bell chords to create its unsettling atmosphere, which is only made more brooding by the addition of a subtly manipulated vocal sample which creeps into the production’s final bars. When all is said and done, one is left to wonder if Visionist is even a fan of Valentine’s Day, or maybe his idea of love is just a bit darker than most. Either way, we’ll take a free tune from the Londoner on just about any holiday.
