Opposites Attract in Nora En Pure’s New “Thermal/Oblivion” EP: Listen
Nora En Pure has done it again with her new two-song EP “Thermal” / “Oblivion,” distilling the essence of the natural world into house music form. The result: an organic, glacial record that explores the beauty of the universe’s light and darkness through music. “Thermal” nudges you into the journey with light birdsong and other biomusic elements, which make way for a gentle piano solo before building into a steady beat. The keys are soon joined by soft violin strings, continuing to lead you through a scenic musical landscape that is equal parts majestic and tranquil. Slowly weaving together with the beat, the piano and strings coalesce into a soft crescendo that dissipates just as gently as it came. “Oblivion” begins just as softly as ...
Jason Ross and Nevve Connect on Heartfelt Single “Wild Ones”
Jason Ross has been unstoppable while preparing to release his upcoming EP. Late last month, he released a huge collaboration with Blanke and Chandler Leighton entitled “One More Day.” Now, he’s returned alongside Nevve for “Wild Ones,” out via Ophelia Records. Similar to his previous release, “Wild Ones” forgoes the trance side of Ross’ sound and embraces the melodic bass aspects. Nevve’s vocals are always a welcome addition to any song and this is no exception. Her dreamy voice floats perfectly atop an array of fluttery, emotive elements. The slight pop-tinge mixed with the soaring synths and basses typically found within Jason Ross’s tracks gives “Wild Ones” an inviting edge. “Wild Ones” ...
