Track listing: Final Loop (Godspeed)
Hypnotic, entrancing, introspective and more. Jordan Everist's latest single "Final Loop (Godspeed)" sets a mood in a similar vein as his body of work dating back to 2014 Last Summer and its follow-ups Vacancy (2017) and Your Friendly Neighborhood Mixtape (2020). The track is a pulsing instrumental set adrift on an airy bed of synth with enough of a melody line to coax your brainwaves into following its winding path from start to end.
More than chasing views and clicks and streams, Jordan creates for the sake of provoking a visceral response from listeners--evoking emotion from the mere exposure to sound. To some extent, it could be argued that that's the goal of all artists. But there's usually another motive at work. Financial gain, or at least financial sustenance, is certainly helpful if it can be achieved through one's art. But Everist truly hopes to move your emotional gauge, even just a little bit, when you hit play on his songs.
It's up to you to determine where "Final Loop (Godspeed)" hits your emotional register. Soothing, stimulating, compelling. Add it to your next Spotify playlist or drop it into a YouTube playlist. Vibe. Chill. Enjoy. And while you do, give Jordan Everist a follow on your favorite social or streaming platform.
