‘Stray’ by Kaika (Trondheim, Norway) *
‘Stray‘ is by far one of the more powerful pieces of ambient we’ve posted here on Dingus. The track is a heavy handed construction of noise that will bring the listener back to a Silent Hill-esque scene, crossed over with auditory suggestions of pain and struggle. Spanning a bountiful eleven minutes and sixteen seconds, Laika’s debut bandcamp single could be the stage setting for nearly anything. But, as shown, ambient done right requires skill- a safe measurement for the future of the group/producer. ’Stray’ resolves peacefully, making musical narrative in harmony with values that I, personally, can agree with. @Dingusonmusic
