Snow Panda’s Ombak Mixes: 5. Theologue

A lullaby from the mother of a giant beast who just won’t go to sleep. A chase ensues when the only creature above it on the food chain lunges out of the darkness. Mother and child out-run the predator, who collapses in defeat.

Snow Panda says:

Gotta get a little crazy on something right? Loosely inspired by an Alex Grey painting.

Ombak’s Bryan Hooten says:

RVAJazz says:

Cameron’s bass line from “Listen to the World” is the first tonal element we hear, and it is soon augmented by a howling, distorted, and not-so-sweet guitar. It becomes a battle between several guitar tracks and a muted trombone, while a lo-fi drum beat rages on.
