Electronic Pop | House
Upbeat fun tune for summer from French duo Bubble Boat. The chorus reminds me of an ELO melody that they would use. The production sports an almost slide guitar sound with a bouncing synth bassline and a Hawaiian-esque lead guitar. They have a knack for blending traditional instruments with electronic textures and sounds. Also for blending genres like pop, rock, and electronica.
This is the latest single from the duo Gravity Circus (Japanese Jimmy “Onibi” Nagaura Yabiko and Dutch German Ken “Toro” Luske). The track opens with up with a melancholy chord progression on acoustic guitar and Jimmy’s scratchy voice that is perfectly matched to the overall vibe. The track progresses to the chorus which is a blend of indie pop and electronica with it’s electronic textures that are tastefully placed. The melody of the chorus is beautiful as well as the ambience.
The song tells a tale of memories past that still haunt but with a yearning to let it be and to move forward.
There is a certain tenderness / vulnerability to the vocals of this track. The lyrics talk about dysfunctional relationships and the tired loops of self-destruction. The mood and atmosphere of the music puts this melancholy vocal in the perfect frame. The production and textures are engrossing and evolving. Reminds me a bit of the deeper tracks from Little Dragon. We Will Kaleid are electronic pop duo Jasmina de Boer and Lukas Streich.
