Style: synthwave, darksynth
Primary Emotions/Themes: Hard driving synthwave that strikes a resonant tone with the way the world is right now
Thoughts: "Things are bad. People know they are bad." What a way to start an album, a line that resonates through every bone in my body. Things are bad, and are only getting worse with every passing moment. It's this reality that Pertubator is showing with I am the Night.
Dystopian music can come in many forms. This iteration comes in the form of synthwave... and oh boy does this album kick ass. There are very few people out there who could create synthwave as good as Pertubator did in his hayday. These melodies and instruments are among the best I've heard in the genre. They make me feel like a terminator is chasing me down a closing hallway, life will soon come to an end if no action is taken.
This is the first album of Pertubator that I really took to. The debut album was not as good as this and a few of the EP's were ok, but not consistently good. However I am the Night realizes the potential of the artist and puts him on a set of albums that would define the genre for me.
