No Skips On San Holo’s Sophomore Album, “bb u okay?”
It’s been three years since San Holo’s debut album, album1, and the Dutch artist has not solely managed to hone in on his core sound however develop it exponentially. And whereas I absolutely notice that these actions are inherently at ends with one another, consider it as zooming in on the sunshine spectrum and seeing all the opposite myriad colours discovered inside a magnified portion of the spectrum. (Sure, I’m utilizing a “mild” metaphor.)
His sophomore album, bb u okay?, is formally out at the moment, that includes a sprawling 20 tracks, together with collaborations with Bipolar Sunshine, The Nicholas, American Soccer, Weezer, Chet Porter, and capping it off with Mija & Mr. Carmack.
Previous to the discharge, we’d already acquired six expansive singles, which, on any typical album launch, may appear to be quite a bit. However with 20 songs, it was barely greater than 1 / 4 of the complete listening expertise and there’s a lot extra to expertise and uncover throughout the folds of the emotional and inventive physique of labor.
The mix of San’s bleeding-heart guitar chords, processed vocals, and delicate synths serenade all through the album, extra pronounced, extra nuanced, extra significant than ever earlier than.
Take heed to the brand new album under, within the morning, at night time, if you’re blissful, if you’re unhappy, when it’s worthwhile to recover from an ex, if you’ve discovered somebody new, when it’s worthwhile to really feel your emotions or escape them.
