Seth Haley knows the concept well, and his style of technicolour synth-wave takes the mantra as a challenge&#8211;how much emotion can one man convey through his machines? Six years ago, <em>Galactic Melt<\/em> introduced space traveler Com Truise and his journey through far-flung galaxies, before mini-epics Wave 1 and Silicon Tare expanded the story in further cosmic detail. And now Iteration concludes this sprawling saga. True to its name, the album is built on Com Truise hallmarks: neon-streaked melodies, big drums, robotic grooves, bleary nostalgia. But Iteration is also the most elegant and streamlined that Haley&#8217;s music has ever sounded.<\/p>\n<p>At the album&#8217;s heart is an elaborate narrative, one full of longing, hope, anxiety, and triumph. <em>Iteration<\/em> illustrates the last moments Com Truise spends on the perilous planet Wave 1, before he and his alien love escape its clutches to live in peace. Album opener <em>\u2026Of Your Fake Dimension<\/em> launches the interstellar drama with its anthemic swells and widescreen sound design, before lovesick songs like <em>Dryswch<\/em> and <em>Propagation<\/em> outline scenes wrought with cybernetic pathos. In \u0093Isostasy\u0094, the synaesthetic quality of Haley\u0092&#8217;s compositions is presented in ultra-high-definition. Later, the frantic rhythms of <em>Syrthio<\/em> conjure images of panicked flight as Haley&#8217;s gorgeous synth melodies gild the action in quiet heartbreak. Then comes the resounding <em>When Will You Find The Limit\u2026<\/em>, when &#8216;Iteration&#8221;s pain and sadness finds liberation in the vast unknown. The closing title track ends it all in a gush of majestic revelry.<\/p>\n<p>So goes the winding story that <em>Iteration <\/em>tells, and yet there&#8217;s more behind its telling. <em>&#8220;I try hard not to write from my personal life, but it&#8217;s inevitably going to seep into the music,&#8221;<\/em> Haley explains. <em>&#8220;It&#8217;s basically like I&#8217;m scoring this film in my head, but that film I&#8217;m scoring is also somehow my life.&#8221;<\/em> There are glimpses of the difficult time the East Coast native spent adjusting to a new life in Los Angeles, fighting homesickness and burnout while also touring the world. It was a time full of uncertainty, transition, and self-realization. After a year and a half of living in California, Haley finally recaptured his creativity by finding new excitement in his work. <em>&#8220;I put more air, more breathing room in the music\u0097that was the big change,&#8221;<\/em> he says. And once that clicked, the album quickly materialized.<\/p>\n<p>Such a clear refinement of the Com Truise sound took time to develop, but Iteration is well worth the patience and perseverance it cost. Some of Haley&#8217;s smartest, catchiest work is here, from the weightless pop heights of <em>Memory<\/em> to <em>Ternary<\/em>&#8216;s lush synth-funk. A song like <em>Vacuume<\/em> somehow manages to balance massive bass swells and punishing drums with stuttering angelic gasps, and Usurper gracefully pairs subtle poignant melodies with uplifting dance beats. <em>&#8220;For me, it feels like change,&#8221;<\/em> Haley says of his second album, and yes, this is Com Truise like never before. By embracing the music&#8217;s inherent nature and peerless qualities, &#8216;Iteration&#8217; finds new avenues of expression in its vivid, familiar surroundings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Com Truise \u0096aka Seth Haley has shared the music video for the song \u0093Propagation,\u0094 which originally premiered earlier this morning on AV Club.
