“Peony Blossom” is a shimmering electronic single from Double Triangle, a UK-based artist from Harlow, a town in Essex. Growing up on the likes of Depeche Mode and Erasure, the artist excels with a melodic and atmospheric instrumental electronic sound throughout “Peony Blossom.”
An effervescent synth-forward swell drives to a bouncy percussive steadiness, as the synths assume a more understated glistening in conjunction with bass-y spurts. The sparkling aesthetical qualities stand out, particularly as the synth twinkling coincides with the buzzing bass line and no-frills rhythmic direction. Synth stabs at the three-minute turn evolve into a spacey expanse, as an eerier and elongated layering takes hold alongside. The final minute weaves percussive thumps and a ghostlier synth tone for ample intrigue, capping off “Peony Blossom” with a satiating glow.
