Independent artists are doing incredible work by sticking to their creative convictions, and Switch Atom is making this his mission statement, taking beneficial risks from day one. His debut single, “Flash Dance,” is pleasantly unexpected, diving into soundscapes less traveled by familiar bedroom producers.

Guided by guitar loops, this short-and-sweet single is as dreamy as it is introspective. Switch Atom has managed to say much without talking, as this lyric-less track does not feel like it’s missing anything. Instead, he lets the music do what it’s supposed to.

In an overly saturated modern music industry, we, as a collective audience, often forget that instrumentals are profoundly powerful. Guitar loops and drums can convey so much emotion.

“Flash Dance” encapsulates the energy of a wandering mind, traversing through the colorful places your thoughts go to when you’re left to your own devices for a few hours with a DAW and a dream.
