If you’re a long-time ringtone reader you know Blimpee is a hyperpop icon. His latest single ‘Fog Machine Bong’ opens with a monologue of Blimpee talking to us, the listener. He whispers making you feel as though you’re in the room with him. The introduction is reminiscent of the concerts. The pandemic has unfortunately prevented concerts from happening but Blimpee immersing us into his world where he is directly addressing us and introducing himself feels like pre-COVID times.
A soft guitar and vocals kicks in luring the readers into a false sense of security. This also allows listeners to see a side to Blimpee’s music we haven’t seen yet, that being with more traditional instruments such as drums, dreamy synth and electric guitar. Halfway through the song the soft vocals distorted into an autotuned daydream. The drums introduce Blimpee’s heavy electronic beats and psychedelic voice. The listeners begin to feel overwhelmed with Blimpee’s distorted breathing before a low voice is introduced, which is reminiscent of fellow low-voiced singer CORPSE HUSBAND! The distorted vocals proceed until the outro “thank you, come back next week to hear it all again”
To quote a fellow ringtone writer, Nic Johnson “fog machine bong feels like descending into a cult” in the best way.
