A man on a mission, UK-based creative Heron has been hard at work, unveiling a series of stunning, dreamy singles in anticipation of his upcoming album, ‘Underground Sky’. ‘Transcendental Meditation’ caught our attention first: rather pensive and cathartic, the single is surprisingly hypnotising, with mellotron-packed soundscapes giving the record a certain nostalgic flair. Heron’s vocals move with lusciousness and lullaby-like playfulness on top of such sonic goodness.
The listening experience is quite special. Heron’s tone is wrapped around a thousand harmonies and spacious effects, making ‘Trascendental Meditation’ sounds like a fever dream, one that’s perhaps too good to be true. Well, it turns out it’s plenty true, especially when confronted with the project’s latest single, ‘Read My Mind’. A thread seems to emerge, with the British troubadour exploring an eclectic musical identity that’s blissful yet hard-hitting, familiar yet boundary-pushing.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Transcendental Meditation’, Heron explains: “I wrote and recorded the track immediately after meditating. I didn’t have any plan in mind, and usually don’t when I’m creating music. It’s an instinctive and abstract process. I think it sums up a lot of what meditation means to me. In a way, it felt like a gift to me, as the track almost wrote itself.”
