Fantomacs caps off 2024 with a mesmerizing, cohesive album, "Infinite Reflections"
With Infinite Reflections, Berlin-born, Swiss-based producer and musician Fantomacs has created an album that feels like a deep, immersive dive into a world of emotional and mental balance. This collection of tracks, all released in 2024 with the album’s closer, “Behind the Scenes,” showcases not only Fantomacs’ talent as a keyboardist and live performer but also his knack for crafting atmospheric electronic landscapes that feel both vast and deeply personal.
Listening to Infinite Reflections in its entirety is a powerful experience; each track flows into the next with a smoothness and continuity that’s rare to find. Fantomacs has perfected the art of creating a seamless musical journey, with the album’s progression subtly guiding listeners through various shades of introspection. The opening tracks immediately set a soulful tone, with downtempo grooves that pull you into Fantomacs’ unique universe of sounds—at once contemplative, expansive, and grounded.
Instrumentally, Infinite Reflections is filled with layers of excellent drumming, bass lines that pulse with life, and, of course, Fantomacs’ masterful keyboard work. The bass lines throughout stand out, grounding each track in a rhythmic groove that’s hard to resist. Meanwhile, the drumming provides a sturdy foundation without ever overpowering the album’s gentle atmosphere. Together, these elements create an album that manages to be danceable, chill, and introspective all at once.
In “Behind the Scenes,” Fantomacs closes the album with a track that feels like a culmination of the themes explored throughout. There’s a rawness and honesty in the song that feels like a direct invitation into the artist’s world. It’s both an uplifting and meditative end to an album dedicated to exploring complex inner worlds and emotional landscapes.
Infinite Reflections is a masterclass in atmospheric, groovy electronica that feels timeless. Fantomacs’ ability to weave themes of mental balance and self-discovery into each track makes this a record to truly sink into. It’s an album that will have fans hitting replay, not just to hear the music, but to experience the journey all over again.
It was such a lovely opportunity to experience this roll out in real time as all the songs had their own allure, but listening to it as one cohesive record has been an almost unexplainable feeling. These songs are brought to life by the love and passion for the music, and somehow, they all come together to create something otherworldly, atmospheric, and downright funky. Fantomacs’ talents know no bounds and of course, we urge everyone to sink into this full record to really get the full feel.
