On SoundCloud it’s easy to get lost in a sea music. Depending on who you follow, your stream can flow one song into the next as you work away at something, barely noticing when one song fades into the next. But every so often a song comes on that snaps you out of your trance, heats up your auditory senses and says “stop what you’re doing and listen to me.” Late last night this happened to me as Point Point’s ‘F+L’ crept into my headphones. From the very beginning the grandiose cinematic build pulled me in. It was an uncommon break from the familiar trap and future bass bangers that still packed an underlying familiarity. As it began to evolve, Kanye West’s ‘Flashing Lights’ came into focus, but in a way I’d never imagined it. The orchestral introduction gave way to an upbeat synth heavy sound. Put simply ‘F+L’ is a stunning composition that you need to listen to.
