Like the song the video for Elori Saxl’s “Grows Along the River Fast” builds in tonal clarity with an impressionistic palette. Arpeggiated sequences in layered cycles establish a textural pattern that immerses the listener in a nearly hypnotic flow of sounds like rapidly falling yet gentle raindrops as a harmonic halo hangs in the background. The brisk pace of the song contrasts with its contemplative energy in a way that reinforces the tranquil aspect of the song akin to waking up early on a cross country train trip well rested and not having one’s brain clouded by the “content” to which we’re subjected upon the usual daily contact with human civilization. It is a mind-cleansing listen that is a welcome respite from the inundation of superficial data of modern life.
