There’s an aura of mystery around LJ Vox. Yet, his music appears to do all the talking, wrapping the listeners into synthwave, vaporwave and chillwave vibes, all drenched in vocal euphoria and lyrical escapism. What more could you wish for? Intensively hazy and haunting, ‘Not that Far Away’ is the perfect example of what we declared above. Introduced by detuned synth goodness, the track then jumps into Y2K-lenient hooks, constantly oscillating between such uplifting character and a gloomier, reflective one.
It’s quite ethereal, yet also striking and punchy. LJ Vox really does a miracle here, crafting a leftfield track that’s also quite mainstream and relatable. Taken from the Australian artist’s homonymous debut EP, ‘Not that Far Away’ is a prophetic promise of the goodness we can expect from it. Moreover, you’ll be able to find the single in cassette format, the perfect choice for that magic analogue warmth.
Delving deeper into the record, LJ Vox explains: “One of those rare songs that came together effortlessly, and secured its spot as a perfect encapsulation of the LJV sound. It brings together melancholic guitar melodies reminiscent of The Cure and New Order, and fuses them with high-energy rave music of the 2000s.”
