[ ::.. RELEASE NOTES ..:: ]
............................
Presenting their first and much anticipated artist album,
about:river returns to Sound Avenue with long player '24 Years
Apart'. Based in Estonia, about:river is a unique collaborative
project between father and son. Conceptualized by father Oleg in
2018, the following year saw his 12-year-old son Ervin join the
project. Initially a clarinet and keyboard player, Ervin quickly
became a committed member of the project, contributing not only
to live performances but also in the creative process, writing
the main themes of their musical creations. Their productions
tell a dynamic and sometimes epic story that happens to be set
in a dance-groove environment. Since first emerging, the duo's
fresh style has continued to delight both their fans and
contemporaries, with the world's premiere electronic music
tastemakers championing their work. An initial bond with Sound
Avenue began in 2021 when the duo took to remodeling Nopi's
'Flatter', before going on to release the thematic three tracker
'Three Drops of Dopamine' earlier this year. With twenty-four
years separating this elusive father and son duo, it seems only
fitting that they unveil the biggest project of their young
careers via Sound Avenue, an expansive audio travelogue
appropriately titled '24 Years Apart'.
Comprised of twelve distinctive and equally compelling
creations, it is the deep, nourishing sounds of' 'Seven Cats'
which sets the tone for the album. Instantly seductive, its
delicate beats and dulcet pianos provide the perfect prelude to
'Frozen'. As the album's first showcase piece, about:river
flexes their free thinking muscles with evolving, emotional and
hypnotizing structures, allowing the listener to relish in the
groove, building anticipation towards an array of colourful keys
and warm atmospheric phrasing. Continuing to diversify their
portfolio, selection three 'Snowing Inside' lands as the
collection's second showcase piece and finds the duo at the peak
of their creative powers, juxtaposing soulful instrumentation
over exotic drum arrangements for a heartfelt seven-minute
journey. Meanwhile, on 'Two Birds' dusty percussion flickers
through misty textural refrains, while melancholic keys paint a
wondrous rustic landscape.
about: river's knack for storytelling resonates across selection
five, the aptly titled 'Moonlight'. Full of detail and
idiosyncrasies, it's a dimly lit voyage where the duo explores a
storyboard of glassy motifs, balmy swells and meandering musical
coactions. A perfect mood to introduce the eager optimism of
'Pluck', a near eight minute piece where about:river reaffirms
their ability to tip a dance floor over the edge through
pulsating grooves, cascading aquatics and playful acid lines.
Moving forward, 'Disappeared' maintains a confident club energy,
carrying that momentum from its predecessor and plunging you
into a wormhole of rebounding rhythms, kaleidoscopic melodies
and frayed textural bliss. The duo's relentless curiosity for
rhythmic experimentation basks in retro-radiance on
'Underworld', as broken beats, nasally lines and timely piano
stabs emerge from a delirious blur of harmonic fragments.
Beneath the hopeful qualities of 'Underworld' lies the enchanted
realities of 'Dropped', a swing-heavy drawl where Mediterranean
motifs marry buoyant acid lines and creamy tones for the
collection's third showcase piece. More elusive yet is 'Never
Forget', building with a balmy majesty, its smoky resonance and
riveting beats make you think but also feel, conjuring up
bucolic visions, perhaps from a time we've yet to experience.
These echoes of extra-dimensional sound salvage tastefully melt
down into the heartrending concepts of 'Keep Awake'. Evoking a
utopian style ecstasy, its limitless exhalation perfectly sets
up the album's closer '24 Years Apart'. Pitched somewhere
comfortably between dreamy reverie and symphonic bliss, its
reflective nature is apt, planting gentle mounds of serotonin
throughout, and in turn cementing an impressive debut long
player from the inimitable duo.
