LUNAKAI, the creative force behind a fusion of vaporwave and indie electronic sounds, is set to drop his full EP on September 29th. But before that, he's giving us a taste of his musical prowess with his latest single, 'Closer.' This track is a testament to his knack for crafting melody-driven soundscapes that take you on a unique sonic journey.
'Closer' isn't your typical electronic track. It combines a headstrong groove with sumptuous synth melodies, a booming bassline, and an inventive mix of spoken word and chopped vocal samples. The result is a sonic experience that's both experimental and undeniably catchy.
The music video for 'Closer' perfectly captures the essence of the track. Shot during a road trip through the Canadian Rockies by the multifaceted artist duo Kyle Ross (also known as Lunakai) and Troy Baird, the video is a fusion of art, absurdity, and humor. It's got an undertow of melancholy and a nod to the work of Harmony Korine, adding depth and complexity to the visual storytelling.
LUNAKAI, who hails from South London, has an impressive resume. He's collaborated with a diverse range of artists, from Ashnikko and Ross Quinn to Yussef Dayes and FKA Twigs. His creative touch extends beyond music, as he's composed for global brands like Nike, Adidas, Audi, and Honda. With 'Closer' serving as a sneak peek of his upcoming EP, it's clear that LUNAKAI is a sonic innovator to watch out for. So, if you're in the mood for something happy, chill, and experimental, give 'Closer' a listen and get ready to be captivated by the musical world of LUNAKAI.
