Saynt Ego Steps Into the Spotlight With Cinematic Indie-Electronic Single “Voices”

Saynt Ego, the cinematic electronic project of producer and filmmaker Will Retherford, makes a powerful statement with “Voices.” This is a standout release from his forthcoming record Liminal Space. Moody, immersive, and emotionally resonant, the track reflects an artist stepping fully into his own creative identity after years behind the scenes.

The song blends indie electronic, vocal downtempo, and cinematic soundscapes. As it captures the quiet tension between introspection and release, inviting listeners into a deeply personal sonic world. At its core, “Voices” is rooted in emotional storytelling. Far from relying on traditional song structures, Saynt Ego lets texture, mood, and space guide the experience.

A Song Built on Atmosphere and Emotion: From Behind the Scenes to Center Stage

The vocals feel intimate and melancholic, drifting through layers of atmospheric production that blur the line between music and film score. The track mirrors the internal dialogue suggested by its title: the subtle push and pull of thoughts, doubts, and reflections that surface in moments of stillness.

Retherford’s background in high-level sound design is evident throughout “Voices.” The production feels intentional and cinematic, shaped by years of experience across film, podcasting, and sync work. It is therefore no surpise the key sonic elements employed include:

• Lush ambient layers
• Deep, restrained electronic rhythms
• Vocals treated as emotional instruments rather than foreground hooks

The result is a track that feels expansive yet intimate, equally suited for focused listening or visual storytelling. Saynt Ego represents a turning point in Retherford’s career. After contributing sound design to major projects featuring names like Jewel, Matthew McConaughey, Brené Brown, and Sandra Bullock, “Voices” marks his shift from collaborator to creator.

Moreover, the song also reflects his broader artistic vision, thus one that blends music, film, and spirituality into a cohesive whole. This approach extends beyond the track itself, tying into his upcoming short film Penny: A Portrait in Motion, scheduled for release in 2026.

Why “Voices” Stands Out

What separates “Voices” from many indie-electronic releases is its cinematic restraint. It does not rush toward climaxes or obvious hooks. Instead, it trusts mood, pacing, and emotional nuance. Fans of RÜFÜS DU SOL, Bonobo, Tourist, Bob Moses, and Roosevelt will find familiar textures here. However, Saynt Ego’s approach feels uniquely personal and it is shaped by storytelling rather than trend-chasing.

Meanwhile, “Voices” is a compelling introduction to Saynt Ego’s evolving artistic identity. Atmospheric, introspective, and emotionally rich, the single sets the tone for Liminal Space while positioning Retherford as a distinct voice within cinematic indie-electronic music. For listeners who appreciate depth, space, and feeling in electronic music, “Voices” is a release worth sinking into.
