Your mind begins to wander, the world passing by through the window of the train – the universe speeding past in a colourful blur as you float through space.
Trip Hop
Producer and artist Brent Walker, founder of the solo project Fearless Union, has created a conceptual EP fit to accompany the deepest needs for escapism and contemplation alike.
Switching up his flow on three different occasions throughout, riding the simple repetition of the soundscape with style and purity, A.K.A. THE TRUTH is an artist with a boldly appropriate name.
From the complexities of love to contemplation of life itself, this album underlines the meandering existence of a soulful, expressive artist.
The producer and label manager behind the project Between The Music and Me has released a series of original tracks in recent months, each of which showcases an eclectic, skillful and emotive approach to both songwriting and composition.
VOLLÉSTAD’s music is a must. A producer with a clear love for the process, a connection to his audience, and a desire to uplift and immerse listeners with refreshing, finely crafted escapism.
In true shoe-gaze fashion, imagery begins to shine through the cracks – scenes conjured from memory, provoking deeper thought, enhancing that hypnotic aspect all the more so.
“I don’t have a high amount peak of listeners on release-day. They come to my music over the year. That means to me I don’t have to put too much effort into this so called ‘pre-release-promotion’. The real work is coming when it’s out.”
Openly addressing a vastly familiar set of emotions for most right now, Anxiety is a breath of musical calm contrasted by an honest display of inner struggle, which connects in a profound way.
Vidal’s return this month brings the beautifully organic, guitar-led swagger of blues, alongside a hypnotic trip-hop vibe and a lyrical centre that’s quick to connect.
The perfect anthem for our newly crowned daily loops – these patterns of behaviour we engage in, to pass the time, to fend off anxiety.
Leading with a quickly engaging, trip-hop-kissed soundscape, and a beautifully expressive, confidently flawless yet characterful leading voice, the balance between style & natural emotion is immense; a huge part of what makes High such a rightfully addictive track.
