I have been listening to music since I can remember: every genre, every artist, every edgy and niche subculture.
I am a great listener: I take pride in discovering unheard gems, trying to connect with their authors.
It never gets old, really… somehow, music keeps hypnotising us, surprising us, always, always offering something new. Must be some sort of magic.
'Be Good Tonight' marks the start of a new artistic era, one packed with dark synth-pop tones and crepuscular textures.
After twenty-five years spent in the US' music capital, the talented musician has relocated to Pensacola, Florida, a town that inspired Sandefur to write yet another banger, 'Pensacola Rollin''.
'Here in America' takes a hard look at the wounds caused by slavery, exploring the legacy of a dark period in US history, and the many way it still influence the world we live in today. We suspect this to be quite an emotional release for Prem.
We wouldn't define 'Refugium' as merely a collection of moody beats. It deserves more; it deserves recognition as the piece of nostalgic art it is.
Depicting Gold himself performing the song in a crepuscular, dimly lit scenario, the brand-new official video will go a long way toward bringing wider attention to the project. In fact, the video has already collected over 6k views in just eleven days.
This is a record made for pure escapism, a heavenly refuge from the chaos of our modern world. A safe space, if you will, a recipe for ultimate healing.
Luscious textures help the record bloom into a cinematic wonder, the perfect meeting point between hypnotic new age vibes and epic soundtrack tones.
'Coquelicot' invites us to slow down and unwind, letting David Mulero's soft piano notes take us into unexpected places.
We are positively surprised by how good 'Oak Tree' appears to be, a sign that there has always been real, genuine talent behind J. Killen's artistic journey.
Wonky bass lines and a stuttering horn section mark some of the LP's main features, a funk-jazz underworld that feels malleable and hypnotic, yet always clean and kinetic.
The Venus Children are rather adamant about 'The Ingredient' having been written as a continuous sonic journey, a natural storyline that shifts in intensity, purpose, and meaning.
When approaching 'EMA', one must be ready for an unconventional sonic journey. Eclecticism and hypnosis are the keywords here: a stream of organic electronica makes its way through a variety of contexts and moods, all the while working towards a common goal.
