Los Angeles producer and artist Nosaj Thing returns with the new single Blue Hour featuring Julianna Barwick, the first single from his fifth album, Continua. Written, produced and recorded by Jason Chung, with Julianna Barwick (Vocals), Mike Andrews (Granular Synthesis), Amir Yaghmai (Viola), Alexander Thompson (Engineer), Sunny Levine (Co Production).
Nosaj Thing's expertise is in crafting exquisite soundscapes that hold a mirror up to his journey: and moreover a live lineage in Los Angeles. Tracing back to the noise and punk shows he saw during high school at DIY venue The Smell, to his debut set at Low End Theory sharing the stage with the mercurial DJ D-Styles. From his opening performances for The xx or The Weeknd, and a decade of ambitious, headline experiences with Tokyo-based audio-visuals avant Daito Manabe. This essence of IRL live-ness imbues his music with such a visceral emotional range that it would be reductive to describe it as a mood.But it's exactly that communally-shared mood that has made Nosaj Thing such a cult artists across his 16-year-deep discography.
Burial fully realises the ambient aspects of his work that he has been leaning towards over the past few years. Whether you like it or not, you can't deny that this is undeniably Burial. Kutkh_Jackdaw
