“While steadily on the way to rise as the most imaginative architect, VAN ELST has created a unique niche through his trickle of enchanting electronic dream pop. A world of live and glitchy electropop encompassing lush synths, intricate vocals in time with intricate rhythms, all to the enthrallment of the listener. VAN ELST’s music wraps listeners in an authentic bareness and vulnerability, exposing the draping curtain on the topic of mental wellness through his music. The growing talent assuredly illustrates an exceptional ability to connect the abstract and visible through each sublime work, immersing audiences into the depth of the unknown and their inner worlds.
Through the song “Reverie,” VAN ELST has created a dream-world that is a real home for the emotions of the melancholic and the obsessive within a mundane beauty. Beautiful, shimmering vocals nestle into the soft instrumentation of synths, creating a sense of delicate harmonies. Meanwhile, the music has an ethereal atmosphere of pulsing rhythm and a driving beat. The sorrowful melody pains for the yearning that one cannot pluck, and that song’s narration of a love circumstance that is divided between euphoric fantasy and harsh reality is very touching.
Yet the essence of hope that seems to touch the chords and pass through the murkiness of the lyrics gives light children feel. VAN ELST’s productions are at full display; the many textured layers are permitted to unfold at their pace. The continuous and rhythmic undertone contains its own hypnotic swell, a heavenly magnetism allowing dreams to psychology continue its flow towards the realms of ecstasy.
Instantly, his voice is both unique and full of power; every musing goes as if calm, but underneath it, there is agitation. “Reverie” is proving to be the most mesmerizing tune of this group so far. This essay is quite precise in depicting the genre of the music as a means of transcendental world-building, and its sensual imagery becomes the blurring line between the real and subconscious, yet it produces this grand effect.”
