All The Same
Lilac opens the EP with ‘All The Same’ a beautifully transcendent journey that weaves together delicate chords and thought provoking vocals.
The tranquility and ambience of the track flows through endless melodies and uplifting ear candy, backed by a rolling bassline that chooses to compliment and protect the musical elements, never encroaching just subtly offering the perfect cornerstone for ‘All The Same’ to develop into an alluring commencement of how this EP will unfold.
Ambivalent
Ambivalent: Meaning - Having or showing simultaneous and contradictory attitudes or feelings toward something, and how this track stands true to its title.
Tamed jungle drums, precise shuffles and eerie atmospherics jolt memories of times gone by, the ghostly vocals haunting throughout Ambivalent yearn for peace and abeyance.
Lilac has found a way to reconcile these differences, beautifully infusing two different styles into one harmonious matrimony.
Chance Encounter
Chance Encounter is Lilac truly showcasing her ability to craft not only well rounded and progressive drums but her sense for drawing the listener into full musical arrangements is what really stands out here.
The prominent violins are what evoke a powerful and striking sound that embodies a film score but still retains its roots within liquid drum & bass.
The components of Chance Encounter are synthetic but real, heart felt and stern and emotional yet cold, Lilac has created her own take on a modern classical coalescence that deserves credit for this composition.
Reminiscent
For Lilac’s final track we are gifted with Reminiscent, a concoction of swirling pads, airy atmospherics and cathedral vocals. Every movement morphs and bends, uplifting your senses and drawing you further into the beautiful lights.
Delicate percussion rhythms bounce and dance with intricate hats while layers of hypnotic synths intertwine with an ever growing baseline that by the end of the track is marching us towards the final stages of this impeccable EP.
Reminiscent has all the hallmarks of being a standout set closer for those hazy evenings which are soon upon us.
