ALBUM REVIEW: ALL YOURS “THE WILD”

Inspired by The Infinite Game by James Carse, the electronic climate impact-focused duo All Yours brings forth a conceptual EP The Wild in which they further examine the expansion of boundaries and sustainability in relation to nature, the environment/surrounding, and climate. Through a wide range of color palettes and expressionistic portray, they weave a futuristic sonic world.

A booming bass introduces us to a dominating, sense-based perception of the world that seems to reach beyond yet is still limited by what we could see and touch in “You Belong” as the ethereal voice guides you through the experience as if the inner voice. The duo subtly blends various world percussion-inspired drumming patterns into the background that reflects the vision of variety and culture. Between the bass and the light, silky skyscape, and the centering vocal, various sounds swirls and flow into your ear that amazes you with their beauty, massiveness, and mystery. All Yours create an entire world in your ear which is something really beautifully shocking to hear.

“Full Circle” opens with an electric, intensified beat in which they examine the idea of the ebbs and flows in life and tap into the way nature and life behave. Through observing the tide, they reflect on destiny, the overflow of the world, and how we could save the planet, which mirrors the core idea of the infinite game - the seeking to continue playing the game. “Open Air” resets to purity and essence in a naturally untamed beat and introduces you to a humid, cold, dark, and reverberant soundscape that reminds you of being in the wild under the starsky or in a cave. Unlike the previous tracks, “I Run You Around” puts you in perspective where you could contemplate what you have observed. Sounds travel in a 3-D circle and vividly capture the movement of “running” and “round” in which thoughts interact freely.
