Sascha Ring, aka Apparat, is a German electronic musician who "designs" ambient beats. He recently released his single, "Song Of Los," which appears on his new album,
The Devil's Walk (it dropped yesterday).
"Song Of Los" has a delicious choral harmony, set against a backdrop of ear-melting bass. It creates the overall effect of walking along an abandoned beach at midnight -- stars twinkling overhead, waves crashing against your feet.
It makes sense that the song (and album as a whole) is so emotional, ethereal, and vast.
The Devil's Walk was conceived during a trip to a tiny Mexican village.
SPIN said that Ring delivers "a compelling mix of programming virtuosity, songcraft, and plaintive vocals, with spastic blips fluttering amid languid string washes, while a "¨mechanical scrim obscures and accentuates the underlying emotions."
