An immersive new track from Chris Ianuzzi, “The Bells Rang On” presents a riveting electronic listening experience — resembling a late-night traversal through a neon-lit city, bolstered by infectious rhythmic elements, spectral vocal infusions, and evolving textural precision. The track follows up the New York-based artist’s excellent “Reality Games,” which caught our ears last month with its similarly dynamic electronic entrancement.
An intriguing soundscape builds throughout, propelled initially by clicking rhythms, spacey synth eeriness, and murky vocal snippets. An industrial-friendly edge takes hold as arp-y synths and dynamic percussion ease into the haunting “bells rang on” vocal chill. Buzzing synths and rock-ready distortion lingers alongside the title-referencing vocal — “…all night long” — for a delectably foreboding vibe. The final minute excels in its clanking rhythmic appeal, melding with whooshing synth elements and into a lonesome, space-set electronic send-off — concluding “The Bells Rang On” with sating impact.
