Justin Bieber goes ambient and blows your mind.

I'm not going to take much time describing teen pop superstar Justin Bieber to you all because regardless of whether or not you enjoy his music, you've had to at least absorb a little of his pumpkin pie hair cut image by osmosis. Found by Usher on Youtube, he's currently filling the dreams & creaming the jeans of every tween across North America (and empyting their dad's wallets). Yeah, sure, whatever. That does not mean he is wholly without merit.

Soundcloud user Scamantis has taken Biebs' song "U Smile" and turned it into the ambient track of the year by slowing it down 800% while keeping the pitch intact. The result is a 35 minute long oceanic stargazing meditation that will give you chills of Icelandic proportions. The original's simple cymbals are liquified into the crashes of the sea while the shell of Bieb's trite promises of doin' wuteva his grl wants break away as the song leaps into serenity to reveal the forlorn callings of a much older, otherworldly soul.

I honestly want you to listen to the entire 35 minute track here below. Just lie down and put on your headphones and close your eyes.

Now, check out the original.




I love how there is unintentionally a beautiful Sigur Ros-level masterpiece hidden within a fucking Justin Bieber song. Keep your eyes and ears open, Volcano City!

edit: for those still interested, i've reupped this track to mediafire. psw is this post's tag.
