Establishing the mood with a dimensional and immersive synthscape, with arpeggiated riffs, textured drums and glistening nuance, Fade Philips opens Fading Memories with abstract prose and the evocative lyrics, “Searching through your mind, memories lead the way, drifting out of sight, losing all control… Faces in the crowd, strangers to you, they whisper in your ears, their words are unclear…”
We appreciate the way that the poetic prowess is open to interpretation as the Stockholm-based artist takes us on a subversive and sometimes melancholic journey with his words.
His emotive delivery is tangible, and we connect with the pulsating nature of the sonic architecture and the quality of the mix is simply exquisite. The astral, instrumental middle 8 feels transcendental before Fade Philips takes us through a hypnotizing final reprise.
Naturally, we wanted to explore the artist’s debut single, Fool For You which has a romantic and psychedelic edge with a glistening synth that takes us to another dimension. We have added both songs to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we anticipate future releases from the rising star!
