Featuring an atmospheric blend of spacey synths and mellow guitars, “Illusion” is a track released today from millhope, the project of Thomas Mühlhoff, a producer, label owner, and product-inventor based in Cologne, Germany. The release represents the first of five singles from the upcoming album Truth&Dare.
Solemn guitars and a haunting textural backing exude a lonesome feeling to start. A more vibrant, spacey expanse follows; synths emerge with escalating charisma past the one-minute turn. As the guitars again take emphasis thereafter, a sense of momentum is evident. A percussive pulse follows as the glistening synths enter again, with the track excelling in its full arsenal here. The hypnotic synth work in the final section shifts into a focused electronic stylistic spectrum, concluding this stylish track with satiating qualities.
