As a “bedroom producer”, I always ask people to listen to my demos and to describe what comes to their minds while playing the songs, sensations such as “what color does this song have?”, “what place do you feel?”, “how’s the weather?”, “what is the time?”, “what’s the taste?”. According to the answers I can see if I’m really conveying my ideas, depending on the feedback in general. There’s no right or wrong questions, this is pure synesthesia and not everyone has the same answers but there’s always something in common. I really like listening to people’s feedback about their feelings. So, I’ve done the same process, asking myself which taste comes when hearing the latest NUN Electro’s release featuring Holy Høly, “From the Ashes”. The result is a bold honey whiskey.
The catchy, sensual and soft vocals are driven by a light synced jazzy and morose bass and drum, altogether with a synth, delivering a very best of a Portishead vibe, at the same time it has its own spirit and full of personality, the longing spirit, the onboard organ builds up the DNA of this unique sonic piece. Voice, still, down pitched and concise, exploring all the room the composition can afford, Holy Høly has mastered in such a gloomy and velvety way, she plays with the possibilities and delivers. What a match!
It gets stuck to your head, sometimes I catch myself repeating the chorus, out of nothing. What good times for the new down tempo’s scene.
Whiskey! And honey!
