Grand Rapids, Michigan-based singer/songwriter Tim Krauss touts a swirling psych-pop sound on “I Remember in the Time of Dangerous Groups,” a track from his project ttypes. Under the ttypes name, Krauss’ stylistic reach expands from rock and piano-pop to ambient instrumentals — noting a heavy influence from the “books of Ursula K. LeGuin.” This particular track touts a lush, caressing sound with beautiful vocal layers. Twinkling keys/synths provide a seemingly aquatic quality, reflecting a submerged sort of peacefulness. As such, the soundscape aptly reflects an otherworldly, retrospective feel. “This is a loosely sci-fi themed dream pop song about unrequited love,” Krauss says. “It’s a song about being happy about remembering being sad.”
