Last week, Canberra electronic composer Goldielocks dropped “Liquify,” the first single from his debut Luminous EP. The track is a gloomy, experimental Electro-ballad featuring woman vocals that are heavily distorted by vocoder, but nonetheless evocative.
“I just want to cruise around the world,” the voice bellows over a rubbery bass line and churning cymbals. The combination of the vocals and warm synths radiate a palpable sorrow through the duration of the track.
After the initial composition drops, the song transitions into a groovy, lurching composition. The whirling synths sound busier, but the minimalist drums slow the song’s pace.
If this whirling, mysterious composition is an indication of what we can expect from him, then he will help send the last quarter of the year off right. Luminous will be out on October 14th. You can listen to “Liquify” below.
