Silvertruth by Wolfgang turns out to be an enchanting adventure into the grey zones in which the truth is distorted and the reality becomes blurred. It is an intimate and expansive piece, something that seems to stick in your head long after the last note has played, a track created by this Norwegian artist.
Even in the first few seconds those awesome synths establish an atmosphere that pulls you into the well-crafted world of Wolfgang. The unfolding of the soundscapes is cinematic in a way, with every layer carefully placed to augment the immersive nature of the experience in which you feel like you are entering a story, as opposed to listening to a song.
It is in the vocal delivery that Silvertruth really excels. It has certain emotional touch that best fits the main motif of the song that is twisted honesty and expresses the fragile balance between truth and comfort in the most subtle ways. The harmonies which are interwoven into the music give a rich luxuriousness that makes the whole music a lot richer and there are moments of sheer beauty which juxtapose perfectly with the more introspective parts of the song.
Here we can see the philosophy of Wolfgang to be a vessel of melodies that already exist. The instrumentation is natural and organic in such a way that it accompanies the vocals but also forms a sonic environment that is complex yet approachable. The e-textures are incorporated smoothly with what sounds like a real instrumentation, resulting in that trademark genre-bending style that his work is known to have.
The strength of Silvertruth is that it has a thematic depth. The idea of the truth stretched only as far as it can be palatable has a number of layers, which can be applied to each listener, urging them to consider their connection with truth and self-deception. It is infectious in a non-superficial, heartfelt but not hysterical, thought-provoking but not pompous way.
Wolfgang has produced something that is intimate and yet universal- a song that has a particular emotional truth, but one that is open to personal interpretation. Silvertruth is one of those songs that are more and more revealed every time you hear it.
