Madrid-based artist vesky unveils a blissful array of soundscapes on Creation, an album that deftly infuses moody keys, downtempo rhythms, and gorgeous vocal samples. The release is divinely inspired, drawn from vesky’s belief that all creation is reflective of God’s glory and mercy. The result is an album that feels beautifully appreciative of life and its myriad realms of atmospheres and emotions.
Gentle piano, caressing rhythms, and distant-sounding vocal samples infuse seamlessly within “Creation,” a compelling opener that sets a rainy-day mood in its shifting between piano-set elegance and more percussive escalations. “Ruach” ensues with a haunting glow, propelled by a chilly piano progression and ghostly vocal elements. The album’s production consistently enamors in its tendency to expand from more piano-set elegance into layers of chillstep and downtempo rhythmic complements.
A particular standout on an album full of many, “Mercy” is fondly reminiscent of Burial in its glimmering vocal samples, steady percussive elements, and caressing range of keys. A lush piano line at mid-point moves into an especially impactful second half, where spacey synths mingle cohesively within the vocal glimpses and click-clacking percussion. From the nocturnal intrigue here to the more effervescent sun-touched serenity within “Promise,” Creation is a gorgeous display of riveting soundscape and precise production from vesky.
