Good Build: Mari Pass Filter’s “Glow”

“Glow” features one of those musical moments that catch you so off guard it practically makes you do a double look at your computer screen. The first half of Tokyo bedroom-producer Mari Pass Filter’s song is a good but straightforward affair – a beat, droplets of synthesizer, skittery vocals that sound vaguely Vocaloid and which zip around each other. It’s a good listen – and the chopped-up vocal yelps are especially intriguing – but “Glow” doesn’t really, errr, glow until the halfway point. The beat picks up a bit and then…digi strings make everything bloom, and the robo-vocals practically start hopping. Incredibly warm track. Listen below.
