Between Two Worlds by Desire Path: Review

“Between Two Worlds,” the latest track from producer-vocalist duo desire path, arrived on September 26 and immediately carved out its own tranquil corner in the electronica and ambient space. The pair, producer Richard Bignell, whose credits span Jamiroquai and Groove Armada, and vocalist Shelle Luscombe, a seasoned performer and presenter, built the song out of their shared instinct for improvisation and organic exploration. What started as a playful side project has now blossomed into an eccentric and immersive sound, drawing from Café del Mar and Zero 7.

“Between Two Worlds” opens with this unique, low immersion of what sounds like crickets buzzing in a sharp constancy in a rolling vacant space alongside synth texture shimmering in the background, setting a serene yet curious tone. You will hear haunting mystical hums fading, before you hear the beats catching up and the percussion shaking, so you know the atmosphere is being enriched in nuanced delicacy. Before long, Shelle’s rich voice slides in low and tentative, like she’s mystically testing the boundary between waking and dreaming.

Then, just as you’re lulled into its rhythm, the song drifts into a cinematic bridge. A faint flute lilts over distant forest sounds, while an ethereal female harmony rises high, chanting the hypnotic refrain: “Is this real or is this just a dream?” over the intriguing tapping, pulsating, oriental rhythm section. On the surface, it’s a simple lyric, but in the way it’s delivered, hovering between intimacy and mystery, it plays like a meditation on fragility, questioning not only perception but the fleeting delicacy of life itself.

By the time the song closes, you feel suspended, caught in that liminal state the duo name so perfectly. “Between Two Worlds” is heady, enchanting music to sink into, as if the air around you has been thickened with calm. So if you want to immerse yourself Between Two Worlds, check out desire path’s latest single on Spotify.
