Impulses is an emoji-happy Pittsburgh artist who wrings a sense of sweeping grandeur from tinny, 8-bit synths.
“🏵️,” a track from Impulses’s latest release, Rain To Remain, is a big-hearted, open-armed chiptune power ballad, featuring layers of major-key bleeps and bloops that sweep by in a rush of digital wonder. Like Porter Robinson’s Worlds, albeit with fewer pixels and a heavier lean-in to classic video game vibes, “🏵️” uses the most artificial of sounds to evoke real human emotion. No easy feat.
