One endless loop of cosmic sultriness. Heavy, intense, and passionate yet restrained. Jose’s voice feels suitably pulled back and he blends in well with the bass heavy neo-galactic-soul. Gentle electronic whirring, robotic atmospheric strings and overhead piano place this edifice in a distant corner of the universe, ancient and futuristic.
The stuttering, shimmering tones and beats on this track were enough for me to invest in Kona Triangle’s album: Sing a New Sapling into Existence.
This song sounds like they sampled the entire width and breadth of a Northwest forest, plugged an MPC into a pine tree and jammed out this gleaming number for the nearby woodland creatures. And all this at dawn.
This is my plan: design album artwork for a single worthy of attention each and every day. This is ambitious. But it’s crazy enough to work. I hope I can share some good music that inspires me and capture the mood / essence of the song in a CD cover sized piece of artwork.
The one to kick it off is Flying Lotus – Heat Wave 2.
Record sleeve for a song I can’t find. Custom typeface and colours that make me feel nostalgic for a 90s childhood, south-american funk music and 70s movie posters.
