Ethereal and Progressive. Arno’s 2020 album “Everyone” is a surreal soundscape blending electronic elements with industrial, and the result is an album that can produce new experiences with each listen.
The album has remnants of Aphex Twin, Pogo, Squarepusher, even Digitalism, while remaining unique enough to carve its own path and sit separate from being any one comparison. This album is digital and spiritual both at the same time and while feeling as big as a world, manages to keep the bedroom production comfort that gives familiarity and relatability. The tracks feel fully formed when standing alone, but the album also manages to be a complete structure of its own, giving the listener an option to listen to the tracks individually for one experience, or the whole album start to finish for another ride completely. With tinges of hip hop and rock included, the album appeals to a large audience and draws inspiration from many places, a task which a lot of electronic based albums often fail to achieve.
While representing the early work of Arno, the album Everyone shows promise for a mature and successful production career and this is attested to by the natural feeling of the musicality of the tracks. Each listen is an entirely different journey if you want it to be, give this album a try in different circumstances during different activities and you will see just how versatile it can be.
