Wavewulf, also known as Nicholas Long, has returned with another stunning single, "In Every Blue," for you looking for sound immersion ahead of his fifth full-length LP, Unbreakable Soul, which is set to drop. Effortlessly interspersing elements of dream-pop, shoegaze, electro, synth-wave, and synth-pop, Wavewulf showcases his aptitude for being genre-defying whilst at the same time achieving sound-cross-pollination making music that connects on such an emotional plane.
"In Every Blue" is an evocative outing. It traverses complex textures and atmospheric soundscapes, arranging hypnotic synths over perambulating percussion pulses to build a vast, inward-looking world. With the voice of Nala Spark, hauntingly beautiful and soulful intense, "In Every Blue" offers a cinematic value that stands out. The outcome is a song as devastatingly stirring as it is sonically prismatic.
Building on his signature style, Wavewulf demonstrates an enviable knack for balancing old-school and contemporary influences. He takes cues from the golden age of synth-lit music but introduces new, progressive production techniques. Minimalistic and ambient, "In Every Blue" takes you on an effortless journey through waves of nostalgia and futuristic exploration, capturing a sense of longing and transcendence in every note.
"In Every Blue" is a dreamscape encased in melody, combining ethereal layers of dream-pop, shoegaze, electro, synth-wave, and synth-pop. Over its run time, cascading synths and lush gain textures swirl and bubble together for a trance-inducing sonic scape. Wavewulf's detailed production shines through with his talent for creating cinematic and incredibly personal compositions.
With Unbreak a planned follow-up, this latest release offers an enticing preview of boundary-pushing boundary-pushing, and dynamism itself has, in many ways, carved out its path through the contemporary music landscape, serving as the bottom wealthy bearer and torchbearer for the genre.
