#carousel (an examination of the shadow 'creekflow' and its life as an afterthought)

[strflr]

These are the pieces I did for @vyl3tpwny’s recent album “Carousel (An Examination of the Shadow, Creekflow, and Its Life as an Afterthought)”. Some interest has been expressed in buying these as prints, so these paintings are now available on my INPRNT!

More album info can be found here!! Highly recommend. ^^

another quick vid. this time it's a slowdown of That Scene (not to be confused with the other one that really needs a slowdown to parse what happens. 'That's ominous!' yes it is!!), because it happens so quick idk if people caught just what happened here.

BGM added so that it's not just dead silent.

Some thoughts under cut:

-Vala is the first one to notice what's about to happen (Baldr was definitely aiming directly for Vor), and actively pushed Vor out of the way. That is the only reason Vor survived as long as she did.

-Vidar notices what's happening a millisecond later, and rushes forward to try and either defend Vala or get at Baldr before Vala can be slain, basically putting himself directly between Vala and the incoming attack from Hringhorn. It... doesn't work. :[

-Vali is the slowest to react, likely because he was further back, and it's hardest to tell what he was trying to do.

-When Hringhorn crosses its blades in preparation for the strike, the blades kinda form an 'X', if you think about it. Hm.

thank you Vylet Pony for making that one part of Creekflow end kinda similar to Bonnie, I haven’t quite managed to reclaim that song from my ex yet and I missed the noises you made with your mouth near the end of it. Don’t expect a lot of people to make this comparison though

Lore Reviews: Bit of a Monster by Vylet Pony

I've been debating with myself for days about how exactly to describe "Bit of a Monster" by Vylet Pony. The sound seems so obviously familiar to me, like I should be able to tell the exact genre on the spot, but I have struggled a surprising bit to do so. I've concluded that this feeling is very fittingly descriptive of the song.

"Bit of a Monster" excellently blends multiple typically synth-heavy genres, along with some clear inspiration from other genres. If I were forced to give it a proper description, horn to my neck, I would describe it as a punk-inspired type of disco/dance/synthpop with elements of hoofgaze sprinkled in. It opens with a real tone-setter of an intro; dark - yet funky - guitar and bass, immediately followed by classic disco/dance synths, initially reminding me of the 2022 album "Vices" by Neighland. Similar to the instrumentation, Vylet's vocals follows the same tone, dark yet funky, until the chorus a minute or so in, when the guitar and percussions take over and unleashes in a climax of the punkier tones of the single, supported by rather than led by the synth.

I am not the only pony with thoughts on this single, of course. I therefore chose to seek out somepony to chime in, and who better than the pony who has listened to this song the most in all of Equestria? The interview went… Uhm… I'm gonna say it went... okay.

Uhm... Yeah! A huge thanks to Jules for letting me do this interview! Anyways... Vylet never disappoints. Sea's biggest strength is sea's versatility, and this single is just yet another proof of this. It is far from the first time Vylet has dabbled in punkier tones, the 2023 album "Carousel (An Examination of the Shadow, Creekflow, and its Life as an Afterthought)" - say that title three times fast - features several that fit the bill, and even includes tracks comparable to alt-metal! Although we may know Vylet Pony primarily for synthpop and EDM/brostep, we know what sea is capable of. Sea makes sure to remind us of this again and again. Is this single ringing in a new era for Vylet? I don't believe so. I believe it is simply a continuation of the work we know and love Vylet for, with surprises around every corner, and a firm refusal to stay put with one single genre or sound. Either way, I personally am very excited to hear what comes next! I'll see you around! Editors note: Jules currently has 1801 plays on Bit of a Monster at the time of posting.
