The listening experience surrounding ‘1995’ is rather sacred and peculiar. As the piece weaves in and out of haunting textures and brooding vocals, an overwhelming sense of nostalgia seeps through Taroug’s purposeful lyricism, as he digs deep into his own identity and the search for a common thread. From that perspective, it’s clear that the song is a truly personal effort, a heartfelt exercise in authentic and honest songwriting.
Sonically, ‘1995’ finds an alternative path within the leftfield realm, embracing an obscure ambient-driven livery with hints of tribal-esque percussion and an overall cinematic allure. Alongside such a nuanced production, Taroug’s vocals resonate with both tenderness and intimacy, as he reflects on early childhood memories in Tunisia. Now based in Germany, the talented musician and producer is getting ready to unveil a new album, ‘Chott’, expected on March 27th via Denovali Records.
