Also, a write up of Postcards by Kate Orlowski, a glimpse of the awesomeness you guys can look forward to:
This inspired collaboration, with producer Matt Malpass and Lydia frontman Leighton Antelman, marks a new direction for hip-hop artist Somnous. From the dreamy “Beautiful”, with it’s ethereal, winding melody, to the hard-hitting “Here We Go”, Somnous takes a more pop-centric approach, focusing on catchy hooks and offering a sunnier take on his quixotic style. While Malpass lends a solid foundation, steadying Somnous’ chameleonic tendancies, Antelman’s wistful vocals add a richness and depth that result in a solid, compulsively listenable record. The EP has a lighthearted, summery vibe that feels like an indulgent 18 minute vacation. A couple of must-hear tracks are the evocative, nostalgic “Take Your Places” and the bittersweet ballad “Somewhere, Someday”. Somnous’ whimsical, unpretentious approach to hip-hop is what really makes this album, and he is sure to have you wondering “What will he think of next?”.
