Here’s one if you’re in the mood for super chill stuff. Neighsayer has appeared plenty of times on previous P@D albums with fantastic live instrument production from jazz to blues and alt rock which my ears just melt into. Now they bring something even more smooth and mellow than usual with this remix of Mogsch and Itchigotchi’s Let The Sun Rise (albeit minus the vocals).
Misc
Technickel Pony – Sprite | Hip-Hop
Technickel Pony brings some smooth zebra vibes with this new instrumental Hip-Hop track Sprite, and it just makes me want to immerse myself in an setting deep inside the Everfree Forest where some of the underground musicians and rappers are at, celebrating joy and harmony around a campfire and with background music such as this track. Funky!
[P@D] CainbowRrash & A Symphony Of Two – To Find A Better Place | Orchestral
Those familiar with Friendship Symphonies have already heard CainbowRrash and A Symphony of Two, but this piece was the beginning of their collaboration, and a great end to the P@D Amity album. It begins with a tranquil wind section that slowly progresses as more instruments and harmonies are added, and finally resolves into my favorite section when the sax, and a lovely trumpet solo are introduced. You can actually see them recording this in the video! It’s an exploratory piece open to interpretation and doesn’t linger on one idea for too long. I definitely recommend checking it out!
The Snatcher – A Fallen Star (ft. Marina) | Orchestral
This isn’t the first pony song from The Snatcher, but the last was almost 2 years ago, so I’d never heard of him until now! This song is based on a fanfiction called The Assasination of Twilight Sparkle, so no bonus points for guessing where the title comes from, but this song is a reward in itself. A 7-and-a -half minute epic with duet vocals from The Snatcher himself and someone simply known as Marina, it’s not every day you get something like this!
GhostXb – Adagio’s Adagio (Ft. Maria Grigoryeva) | Orchestral
An adagio for Adagio. Take a wild guess what this is about and how the rest of the series will be titled ;P I would go into more detail on the specifics of this song’s theme, but Ghost wrote a small essay in the description, so you should take a look at that and let him explain the song better than I can. But what I can say is that is that it features live violin from professional violinist Maria Grigoryeva; good on Ghost for going the extra mile for the sake of a lead instrument.
Crusader! ft. Wubcake – Legend of Everfree (covering Daniel Ingram) | Acoustic Rock
Cute ukulele-driven rock song? You betcha; it’s the usual from Crusader!, teaming up with Wubcake again to turn this into a duet. It also features what seems to be Cru’s entire collection of musical instruments, from ukulele to electric guitar to melodica (not harmonica!), with solid mixing so you can hear every single one crystal clear.
TheMusicReborn ft. Foxy Lee – Button’s Mom (covering P1K) | Jazz
I…wasn’t quite expecting this to pop up on my radar! TheMusicReborn decided to take P1K’s classic in a very different style from both the original and really anything else we see on a regular basis. It may or may not be your kind of thing, but definitely worth giving a shot for a fun little tongue-in-cheek cover.
FritzyBeat & NyxTheShield – Scootaloo’s Wings (covering JackleApp) | Acoustic
FritzyBeat is no stranger to beautiful vocal work and it shows in this wonderful cover of a JackleApp track, Scootaloo’s Wings. Fritzy is joined by an Undertale fan-music veteran, NyxTheShield, on guitar. It’s a wonderfully powerful rendition; the guitar strumming is smooth and expertly plucked with vocals perfectly layered atop. Fritzy’s vocals are considerably deeper and more drawn out than the original, and the guitar plucks from NyxTheShield more sharp too, making this track a treat even for those intimately familiar with the original.
Indie Notes – Waiting | Acoustic
Indie Notes is back after a very long time away from the music scene, and seemingly starting his channel afresh. However, he is preparing to release a brand new album in the coming days too, so don’t fret, there’s plenty of great stuff like this to come! Take a listen to this fantastic acoustic number about Spike – very mellow instrumentation and vocals with a nice little hook in the chorus and even a solo!
I am so ready for Indie’s album perhaps we might even do a full review…
Liquid Harmony – I Am Not A Monster | Piano Sonata
I find it interesting just how much music in the fandom is inspired by fanfiction, perhaps simply because it’s something I never got into myself. But anyway, go check out this lovely solo piano piece from Liquid Harmony.
