Surrounded by the aura of digital dreams, and a profound sound filled with a breath of folktronica, Brendan Cope arrives with his album βif now we are in piecesβ. It is an eleven-track full-length album that is musically adventurous and imbued with a melodic color palette ranging from calming vocals to electronic soundscapes. Stay tuned, for a sensational overview of Brendanβs incredible work!
Brendanβs work on the album has hints of avant-garde, experimental electronica, and a peaceful vocal introduction. It is all atmospheric and filled with uniquely synthesized music production. Tracks like βFalling in Loveβ for example have perfect transitions with an indie-pop aesthetic Accompanied by sensational vocals featuring Nosila, Brendanβs also no stranger to bringing his melodic singing along. Another techno-fantasy is βWhat are the Oddsβ which is a deep dive into melancholy with synthesizers and deep bass lines. Feels like an ocean wave of electronica that brushes against your legs while at the beach. Most of the tracks on the album feature sensational synthesizer pieces that resemble a bit of lofi and folktronica, with some guitars too on tracks such as βDuring This Lifeβ.
The final title track βif now we are in piecesβ is a shining diamond full of kaleidoscopic synths and keyboard elements that have the spiritual aesthetic of mandala drawings. Brendanβs vocal production on this track is incredible and adds a diverse take on each instrumentβs cohesion with it too. All in all, the album is a must-listen for those night-time escapades, or that βafter-partyβ vibe that most of us desire.
