Jai Wolf Back again releasing singles of his 2019 album this week. Electronic music can be tear-jerking: whoever said that synths, beats and melody had no humanity really need to listen to this track, pure composition needing no words to reveal a yearning heart.
Give Jai Wolf some love, his album will drop on April 5 and he’s on tour! Full album review and tour dates will follow shortly.
(Is there anything more retro-inspired than Manila Killa’s new set for his 2019 solo tour? Seeing all of the very highlights of 2018 electronic music production turn away from house and tropical beats to synths… a new zeitgeist. Who knows. )
Manila Killa, along with artists such as Hotel Garuda and Jai Wolf, represent a new generation of electronic artists that draw inspiration from cross-cultural experiences and the timelessness of the previous three decades of music. Manila Killa has produced such a wide range of tracks, from tropical house, now to the Daft Punk inspired titular track to his EP, 1993.
Nostalgia, starry skies and dreaming is in, summer-vibes, letting loose and sunshine are out. Encapsulating the feeling of the track himself, “a moment that you’ll most likely never live again, but always remember as being beautiful”.
Jai Wolf will be releasing a much anticipated album on April 5th, and of course the man behind the most atmospheric and emotionally driven electronic music has turned to retrowave. With music videos of astronauts in space, vivid imagery of electric blue and neon orange, his music reflects a introspective exploration of escapism and losing control.
Day Wave, featured on this track, has also explored similar themes with his airy indie, a fitting great favorite of music channels such as Majestic Casual on YouTube. The combination is an guitar-strummed modern take on just regular old beaty-synth, a unique sound that gets me very excited about the upcoming album.
Get hyped, Jai Wolf’s single just released released yesterday, with more to come on him and his work on this blog.
The posters above were designed by Mishko, a graphic artist who also did Jai Wolf’s entire promo package for the upcoming album. His work is the very embodiment of the spirit of synthwave, and we will probably unavoidably see more of him as his style so strongly resonates with the theme.
Official video just came out: Introspective, soulful ending with a bang and a flash.
