godblesscomputers: faded views
Francisco Espregueira
Prepare for a sonic journey with Godblesscomputers' Faded Views, a collaboration between 823 and Jakarta Records. This album blends electronic brilliance with soothing synth soundscapes across nine tracks. It weaves folktronica's mellowness with jazzy harmonies and tropical rhythms, epitomized by the standout track "Hello," offering a breezy, summery vibe. The Bologna-based producer Lorenzo Nada, here dressed up as Godblesscomputers, masterfully infuses metallic accents into groovy compositions, creating one of the best listening experiences of 2023.
Godblesscomputers combines musique concrète and found-sound craftsmanship with electronic prowess in this 10th-anniversary album. Faded Views celebrates moments past with mind-bending soundscapes while embracing electronic experiments and themes of impermanence. This fusion of the analog and electronic realms results in captivating tracks like "Burnt," where piano, saxophone, and modular synthesis harmoniously coexist. Nada’s unique approach to beat-making, a fusion of the found and synthesized, results in not only captivating breakdowns and lively dance tracks but also immersive sonic tapestries. What an amazing piece this is. Available on vinyl.
