HY:LY’s ethereal ambient track ‘Stasis’ sets a theme of space exploration. Stasis follows the story of an astronaut cast adrift in space, during their last moments alive, as told by the neutral AI voice in their helmet. The comforting voice backed by lush waves of psychedelic guitar and drawn-out bass plucks invoke a blissful feeling of hopelessness, and acceptance as one is finally at peace.
