For a full minute of YULYSEUS’ “In the Dark Palaces of Both Our Hearts” it sounds like you’ve woken up in an immense indoor space with the sounds of motion and life in the distance. But as the track progresses, abstract melodic drones ease in and more concrete if difficult to identify sounds that reveal themselves to perhaps be the squealing of a train on a track at a station, some steam letting out now and then. Like the vehicle just pulled in and waiting on you to stir from barely conscious quiescence to wakefulness. And the roiling arc of drones is on a slow ascent as though tracing the sunrise. Distant sounds and those more up close incandesce with a hazy resolve that recedes as the sound of the track takes on more clarity and a simple synth progression glimmers toward the end, traveling back and forth with a gently panning effect like the sensation of your brain emerging from the ethereal energy of dreams into a wakeful silence. It feels like a journey but one of subtle states of consciousness more so than any actual or symbolic and one that feels born of the mind incorporating physical sonic stimuli into the experience of the subconscious.
