Singles & EPs Round Up - October 29th, 2022

SYMBOL - Hyperballad (MYSTERY CIRCLES)

Vertical Divider

I like it when musician go rogue from a main project to indulge their musical fantasies and here Christopher Royal King takes a break from his This Will Destroy You experimental rock day job to indulge in ambient maximalism and some New Age magical realism on Hyperballad - my b-side pick, to lush effect.
Check him out on The New Age of New Age Playlist.

Neal Heppleston - Ebisu (Self Release)

Inspiration comes from many quarters and this one is dedicated to the Japanese god of the schizophrenically glorious whale sharks. Heppleston does a good job of disguising his bass guitar behind various effects,  whilst enlisting friends to add Asiatic and classical grace to proceedings.
Check this tune out on the Slow Neoclassical Playlist.

Soft Double - Silver City Star (Self Release)

Vertical Divider

Borderline Balearic, dreamy hazy pop with AOR undertones and a sprinkle of microdosed magic weave together on the new EP from Soft Double which doesn't have a bad bone in its body and is suitably for all your easy, breezy, listening needs.
Check them out sprinkling their sonic magic on the on the Slow Balearic Playlist.

Deru - The Rain (Friends Of Friends)

With all the recent global unrest Deru is not taking any chances; recording his new piano centred LP in an old abondoned missile where he tackles thematic explorations of humans and technology. The whole LP is great but "The Rain" is one of the most onomatopoeic tracks I've heard in recent times - simply wonderful.
Deru can also be found on the Slow Neoclassical Playlist.
