Snake Orange Cake flows through sound with a sense of vulnerability, allowing notions to develop without forcing them. Julia Carlsson, the Åland-raised artist residing in Berlin, created new material that explores the relationship between impulse and structure.
Lucid, the new EP, represents a time of peaceful exploration. Written, recorded, and produced over the last year, it exudes a sense of intimacy, with each piece carefully arranged. The EP alternates between spoken word, melody, and experimental electronics, all tied together by a consistent tactile feel. Organic textures coexist with synths without tension, resulting in a sound that is inviting but slightly disconnected.
The title track has an experimental approach and generates a profound ambiance of a realm that feels slightly off center. It doesn't take long to win one over. All of this stems from an individual artistic perspective, which prioritizes the method as well as the result, and uncovers brilliance in the space between them.
