Fingerspit's milder entry into an ever expanding Minecraft soundtrack plays cozy yet unsurprising as its familiarity to the existing cannon lacks a flavourful distinction. Perfectly executing a tranquil tone and tamed temperament, these five fresh footprints dreamily drift by, indistinct from the cloudy vapors of atmosphere they conjure. Soft and safe, these serene sounds saunter by indistinct and inconsequential. Shy yet tuneful instruments gently chime in. Cushioned synths, distant bells, melancholic pianos and the occasion percussive steel drums stealthily partake in its subtle swells.
Its on the new music disc, Bounce, where we hear personality peaking in. Emulating the quirks of whirly synths and hazy intentions, we wade familiar waters. The rhythmic section is where the track shines! Carefully subdued in texture and presence, underneath rumbles sharp snare shuffles, cutting crash cymbals and stuttering pedal grooves. A touch more progressive than I recall prior tracks. Its a nice contribution that, perhaps, could have been leaned into further. This lengthier thirty minute soundtrack is a safe fit for the game, yet wains by its natural acquaintance.
