For Vancouver's IDM artist Cloud Opacity, everything is about layers. "Bring to Front" is his latest drop, and makes direct reference to the idea of layering — bringing different elements and accents to the front, and sending others to the back — just like in graphic software programs.

Cloud Opacity makes 'irregular, introverted, and intimate music' for lovers of instrumental experimentation mixed with downtempo groove. "Bring to Front" showcases a mastery of the nexus between sampled percussion and warm, arpeggiated synth tones. Cloud Opacity is a relatively new artist to the Glitch/IDM scene, with only a handful of singles so far. Go ahead and give him some love on Spotify — his music is a welcome and lively alternative to the spaced-out musing of others artists in this space.
