The album runs for 26 minutes and is split into two tracks which consist of "meditative" drones made of two synths and a guitar.

Solar Bridge was the first Emeralds album to be released on vinyl and CD, and received positive reviews from AllMusic, Pitchfork, and Tiny Mix Tapes.

[3] Jesse Jarnow of AllMusic described the album's sound as "deep and meditative," with "flowing textures that somehow scan as simultaneously organic and synthetic".

[1][2] "Magic" consists of a "rumbling swath" of sawtooth-based drones in a minor key which increase in volume as the track progresses.

[2][3] McGuire uses an e-bow on his guitar to create sustained notes, a sound similar to krautrock bands Ash Ra Tempel and Eruption, according to Mangoon of Tiny Mix Tapes.

[1] Mangoon of Tiny Mix Tapes gave the album four-and-a-half out of five stars, and described it as "criminally too short", preventing it from receiving a perfect score.
