TYPIFŸ, aka Patrick Dunn, wrote his song “I Am Alternative” to talk about all the things he’s been through that have made him who he is today.
“I Am Alternative” starts off with a clean ambient guitar sample, which quickly gets layered on with other guitar textures such as a reverse guitar swell. The beautiful textures then get contextualized with a driving kick drum and bass-line.
The percussive layers are very distinctive and unique with a shaker accenting the upbeats instead of the typical snare. Vocals then enter with a soft yet gripping timbre which gives vibes similar to Glass Animals, but definitely has a distinct melodic contour to separate the sounds. The snare enters in an extremely satisfying way right after the first vocal part is done, driving the song forward with unstoppable momentum.
The production in this song is truly ear candy, with satisfying sounds and samples popping in and out throughout the song. The combinations of sounds, beats, and melodies is bound to satisfy anyone who is interested in alternative, ambient, and electronic styles of music. Definitely keep an eye out for Typify and follow their journey in the creation of extremely satisfying and catchy music.
