If I get my hands on that g*ddamn flute, I’m smashing it into a million pieces (I need this dude to start rapping again).

3. Tunnels of Egypt
Do they sweep the tunnels of Egypt often, or do they leave it as is?
“Tunnels of Egypt” is stark and minimalistic—bare, in the truest sense of the word. The track features an array of transient elements, such as the sound of rustling leaves and what seems to be the whoosh of flames, interspersed with a rhythm that drifts in and out. The melody evokes the quintessential atmosphere of adventure films like Mortal Kombat or The Mummy, particularly in moments of discovering forbidden treasure. As an outtake from the New Blue Sun album, this song seamlessly aligns with the project’s ethereal and atmospheric vibe.
2. Day Moving
Wait a second, is “Day Moving” and “Moving Day” the same s**t?
“Day Moving” is quite literally the reverse of its counterpart, “Moving Day.” The song takes on an entirely new character in its flipped state, exuding a cold, shivery aura that evokes imagery of desperation and longing—like the less fortunate seeking scraps from the royal banquet depicted in “Moving Day.” The reversed composition conveys a profound sense of loneliness, despair, and hunger. Despite these somber undertones, the track also incorporates faint glimmers of hope, though it ultimately feels less dynamic and thrilling than the original. It’s a bittersweet transformation that might not resonate with everyone.
1. Moving Day
Ooh ooh ooh ah ah ah!
“Moving Day” feels like the perfect soundtrack for an experience that’s both raw and celebratory—like being thrust into the heart of a jungle, stripped of everything, yet still finding joy in the chaos. The track carries primal energy, evoking the calm yet charged atmosphere of predators feasting together after a successful hunt. It’s a blend of jubilation and tension as if the group is ready to defend their moment of triumph at any second.
The song’s layered soundscape is a sensory feast, featuring heartbeat-like drum rhythms, the echoes of distant scuffles, the ominous creaks of dungeon gates, and the soothing notes of flutes. It also surprises with splashes of futuristic tones and delicate chandelier-like glimmers. Whether it’s a composition for royalty or grounded souls, “Moving Day” blurs the lines, offering an experience that feels both regal and raw.

Well, I’ll be damned, I really enjoyed this EP. Maybe because I’m stressed out and need to stop listening to stupid-ass trap music.
