Off World emerges as the lead single from Danish/Korean producer Ki!‘s sophomore album, Yong-Gwanglo Part One. With its blend of synth pads and detuned themes, the track transports listeners to a realm reminiscent of watching an exoplanetary sunset on a deteriorating VHS tape. Unlike Ki!’s previous works, which paid homage to specific times and places, Off World propels us into the future and beyond our planet’s bounds. True to its title, the song exudes an East Asian interpretation of classic sci-fi soundtracks from iconic films like Blade Runner, Running Man, and Total Recall. A deluge of synths and neon light, Off World offers a psychedelic journey through instrumental bliss.
Chungking Express meets Blade Runner? Yup!
