Album Review: I Love You Over the Moon EP by The Corrupting Sea
If you’re into ambient electronic music that feels like a warm hug for your brain, then I Love You Over the Moon EP by The Corrupting Sea might just be your new favorite thing. Released in 2018 on Somewherecold Records (a label that knows its way around dreamy soundscapes), this little gem takes one track and remixes it into five different versions. It’s like ordering a pizza and getting to try it with five totally unique toppings. Some work better than others, but hey, that’s part of the fun.
Let’s talk about two tracks that really stuck with me. First up is “I Love You Over The Moon (The Beremy Jets Remix).” This one hits you with this kinda floaty, otherworldly vibe right off the bat. The beats are soft but steady, like rain tapping on a window while you’re tucked under a blanket. There’s this shimmering layer of synths that feels almost nostalgic, like hearing an old song you forgot you loved. I remember listening to this remix late at night, and it felt like the world had slowed down just for me. It’s the kind of track you play when you need to zone out or just want to feel something without words messing it up.
Then there’s “I Love You Over The Moon (Yellow6 Remix).” Oh man, this one’s a whole different beast. Yellow6 cranks up the moodiness here—there’s this deep, almost cinematic tone running through it. The bassline is so smooth it feels like melted chocolate, but there’s also this subtle tension lurking in the background, like you’re waiting for something big to happen. Spoiler: it doesn’t. But somehow, that’s okay. It leaves you hanging in this beautiful limbo, and honestly? That’s what makes it memorable.
The other remixes are solid too, don’t get me wrong. Xeresa’s take adds this ethereal quality that’s perfect for zoning out, and Tears Run Rings brings some nice texture to the table. But those first two? They’re the ones I keep coming back to.
Here’s the thing about this EP—it’s not trying to blow your mind or reinvent the wheel. It’s more like a cozy little corner of sound where you can hang out for a bit. If you’re looking for high-energy bangers, this ain’t it. But if you dig ambient vibes that wrap around you like a sonic snuggie, you’ll probably dig this.
Oh, and here’s a random thought: listening to this album makes me wonder if The Corrupting Sea ever gets tired of people saying their name sounds like a pirate metal band. Probably not, though. Pirates love chill music too, right?
