Courtney Nord – Wild
Courtney Nord’s soundscapes are marked by collisions. It’s grand and visceral, such a beautiful space to explore humane themes in. Her latest release is ‘wild’, a track that forms in the place where dreamy vocals meet atmospheric riffs. They electrify each other in immersive ways, driving the listener into unimaginable levels of feeling. Where you find yourself is the wilderness itself. The basslines and guitar work floods the space with chaos. And over it, gliding and grazing on it is the contemplative melancholy of the vocals. Soft falsettos that cast a spell as it speculates romantically on the theme. And together, they forge a whole different alternative consciousness. One that you can’t find anywhere but will want it all the time.
Boy Grapes – Sand
Boy Grapes’ song, ‘Sand’ is performed and produced to emulate the nature of sand as it exists. Its gossamer nuances, the innumerable reality of it, and the spaces that it occupies. The artist starts at a simple place and then builds on it, creates progressions with riffs and experimental elements. Plucked string acoustics open the track, luminous dots of melody creating rhythm. The second layer is coarser. Riffs filling the spaces between the softer strings and expanding them. They take on atmospheric dimensions, inexplicably ambiguous and vast. It multiplies and distorts, becoming a mercurial organism. Even vocal accents dive underneath the surface, becoming one with the androgynous static of the song. And like that, an infinity forms, grainy and textured. An infinity that is fantastically cerebral and conceptual.
