Operating under the moniker Sionnul, producer and visionary Noah Fox has been building a small yet loyal audience on Bandcamp, offering limited-edition vinyl of his latest album ‘The Collective Loneliness’. Drenched in leftfield electronica, ambient soundscapes and vaporwave-esque nostalgia, the LP is an absolute standout, especially if you are into the sort of cinematic, quirky music that the project has to offer. It just so happens that we are the sort of people who listen to a vaporwave mix, or a Boards of Canada playlist…
We’d like to focus on how the album makes us feel; this is a vibrant, mood-driven record, a body of work that will likely take listeners into a parallel dimension, one where worries and chaos are suddenly silent. A place where there’s time to think and look at the hypocrisies of everyone’s lives. People underestimate how powerful a record like ‘The Collective Loneliness’ can be. Despite its title, it will make you feel less alone, more in tune with the universe.
Delving deeper into the meaningful ethos that propels ‘The Collective Loneliness’, Fox explains: “The Collective Loneliness is the universal loneliness of adulthood falling into a deeper spiral thanks to the digital age. The album covers surveillance, isolation, stunted socialisation, and the loss of third spaces.” In that sense, the album turns into a poignant and plastic soundtrack to our dystopian society, inviting aural escapism as well as witty reflections.
