There are songs you listen to while doing other things and songs you really get into. Social Treble's "All Lights In Bangalore Couldn't Find Me" is a seven-minute spoken-word industrial journey that feels more like a city breathing through circuitry than a song.
This is the most immersive high-fidelity storytelling for people who like to listen with headphones. The structures of progressive rock are the backbone, stretching and evolving rather than settling into comfort. Underneath that architecture, granular synthesis made with Arturia Pigments hums, flickering like neon on wet pavement. The three-layered bass doesn't just support the song, it surrounds you, creating a low-end gravity that feels real, almost like a building. The result is what can only be called a digital city feel. It's industrial, but not rough just for the sake of being rough. It's like a movie, but not like a play. There is a deliberate patience here, with space between pulses and tension between textures, that rewards deep focus. This is the kind of music you listen to when you're driving at night, and the highway seems to go on forever.
It sounds like a mix between the dystopian haze of the Blade Runner soundtrack and a dark, deep cut from Nine Inch Nails. But it never seems to have come from anywhere else. Social Treble creates a very modern noir by showing Bangalore's IT metropolis not as a sign of shiny progress, but as a maze of hidden corners and flickering interior monologues.
