Bwell from Bwell by Philipp Straub & Morttagua
'Bwell' is a classically structured single that balances an ominous yet hopeful narrative. The 4/4 rhythm is both warm and precise, allowing the growling synth bass to evolve naturally. The breakdown is a nod to classic prog, with an emotive string section that gradually gives way to a picked classical guitar, maintaining a slow tempo all the way to the satisfying drop.
