Machines, the latest album by the Chinese-American electronic musician Yang, is a mesmerizing journey through a vast sonic landscape. With influences ranging from classical music to modern electronic beats, Yang has crafted a unique sound that seamlessly blends organic and synthetic elements.
The album opens with "The Awakening," a hauntingly beautiful track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, the listener is taken on a journey through a variety of moods and textures, from the dreamy atmospheres of "Echoes" to the pulsing rhythms of "Machine." Each track is a carefully crafted piece of music that showcases Yang's skill as a composer and producer.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Lost in Time," which features a haunting vocal performance by guest singer Zara Kershaw. The track builds slowly, with layers of synths and percussion adding to the tension, before exploding into a powerful chorus that is both uplifting and emotional.
