If you’ve heard it before, you know that funk and glitch complement each other like peanut butter and jelly. In the case of the track “Synesthesia,” Jonny Ha$h is a sandwich guru when he brings these elements into unison.
Seriously, the vibe is so smooth that you can loop this one endlessly without even noticing.
What’s more is that “Synesthesia” isn’t just a song title.
It’s also a condition. It describes the peculiar sensation of experiencing one type of sense like smell or sight in place of a more accurate one.
An example might be eating chicken and getting a distinct vision of a circle rather than experiencing a taste.
I can see Jonny’s idea, and I bet a lot of our readers do too. If you’ve ever taken the time to describe your favorite song aloud, you’ve probably found yourself wanting to say “it just has this itchy sound to it that I love” or “the bass is like this warm blanket over your body.” Know what I mean? Sounds silly when you say it outright, but in your head it sounds so right.
I know when I listen to Jonny’s take, I definitely feel those itchy bass lines consuming my mind, and those funky progressions taking me out for a night on the town.
