light years apart is Unobliterated’s Single Out Now
Good Day Noir Family,
The compositional style of this artist is something that resonates with my noir soul, as I’m naturally fascinated by songs with dystopian and ethereal atmospheres.

From the very first groove, slightly industrial and reminiscent of a late-night club in Berlin, you’re transported into a smoky, crepuscular setting.
The pads create atmospheric arrangements that open up the sonic space, making it feel almost cosmic, even metaphysical.
After a hypnotic verse, where the vocal delivery stays steady and almost oracle-like, there’s a twist around the first minute. A double effect is applied to the voice, giving it a robotic edge that evokes a mix of influences, somewhere between the Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode.
The song speaks of an infinite love, one that even oceans of bottles can’t drown out, yet the sky still feels darker. It reflects the distance that can suddenly emerge between two once inseparable people, leaving behind an emptiness that somehow also sparks curiosity about what lies ahead.
The track is well-structured; even though the melodic line remains within a fairly narrow range, it manages to keep you engaged. I especially liked the break at 2:37, where sampled strings create a futuristic vibe that, for some reason, put before my eyes frames of Blade Runner.
This is an artist who knows how to translate emotion into music while maintaining a solid artistic vision. I also loved the slightly suspended ending, as if avoiding a final full stop, leaving the song open-ended. It’s the kind of ending that makes you want to listen to the tune one more time.
