In “Fight to Keep from Sinking” peejmudd presents his most thorough musical project that captivates listeners emotionally. The album develops like a silent tale through the synthesis of post-rock with neo-classical and ambient music which plays out through string sections and delicate piano and layered guitar instruments. Multiple tracks unite to develop complex audio environments that reflect emotional experiences of enduring while surmounting challenges along with learning to accept fate.
This record diverges from standard instrumental releases because it functions as a true story rather than serving as a music setting. Peejmudd masters the easy transition from serene contemplative intervals to intense film-like melodramas. Drummer Sasà De Seta and sound producer They Danced Like Programmed Angels work together to give this record its broad range of sonic dynamics. The first track “This Day Is Ours” launched as the album’s lead single to provide listeners with an introduction to its essential themes while gaining recognition for its powerful musical composition.
When people listen to this album they will notice how it combines graceful elements with stark sounds. The guitars on the record produce sharp transitions from sparkling clean leads to gravelly distorted heavy tones that mirror how emotions fluctuate during inner struggle. The musical tension present within “Echoes Wake” and “To Break the Sky” defines the album alongside other ambient tracks that explore a serene listening experience. Throughout the entire album the pianos and synthesizers create a smooth transition among the musical structures which result in deep emotional impact.
This album has the ability to stay in the memory of listeners well beyond when the song finishes. The album offers something for fans of Sigur Rós and Ólafur Arnalds in addition to The Album Leaf followers but surpasses specific genre categories. A pure audial exploration of survival exists through this music which conveys deep human feeling while never actually uttering any expressions.
