The second single from Toronto-based duo MALWAVE, “Forever Chemical” is a dynamic stunner that melds psychedelic, free-flowing rock elements with moody, nocturnal electronic intrigue. The project embraces a diverse aesthetical approach, drawing from realms of dark synthwave, psych-rock, and post-rock in its stimulating, evolving prowess.
Although adorned with ghostly, wordless vocal undercurrents, the track’s production excels in its instrumentation — beginning with steady percussive pulsations and simmering synths, bolstered by a clanging post-punk bass feeling and ensuing guitar shimmering. The glistening, twangy guitars pair with those haunting vocal effects for an especially riveting late-night soundscape, delighting across throbbing bass emphasis, whirring synth mystique, and re-emergent rock guitar elements. “Forever Chemical” is an enthralling output from MALWAVE, who have many other singles on the horizon.
