As Daktyl, like many artists, navigates the turbulent waters of a profession in music, his new EP emerges as a sign of artistic readability.
With a distinguished profession marked by collaborations with Diplo, What So Not and plenty of different dance heavyweights, Daktyl continues to be the gold customary for indie-electronic music. He reinforces that status with Wave, out now on San Holo’s bitbird imprint.
Opening with “We Lost Track Of Time,” the EP instantly units a playful but introspective tone. This observe is a fluttery cascade of vocal chops and light-weight, ethereal manufacturing, punctuated by reassuring ad-libs that wrap across the listener like a comforting embrace. It is an invite to float away and lose your self within the haze of the music.
The titular “Wave,” that includes the gifted Alice Ivy, sweeps in with rhythmic vocal chops and lead synths with vocaloid-like textures. The observe ebbs and flows, very similar to the emotional tides it goals to symbolize, drawing us into its present. In the meantime, “Idols,” a collaboration with Lizzy Land, shifts the EP into funkier territory. Twangy strings dance round pitch-bending melodies, creating wavy tones that blend seamlessly with a kinetic undercurrent. It’s a observe that grooves with a way of freedom and playfulness, inviting listeners to seek out their rhythm inside the chaos.
Closing the EP is “Little Light,” a observe that cuts via the noise with its poignant lyrics and soulful vocal supply from Zeke Finn, whose lyrics paint a vivid image of discovering one’s true calling amidst the turbulence of recent life.
“This EP is kind of an ode to that presence and the realization that it’s kind of all that matters,” Daktyl stated in a press launch. “It was also born from the realization that we have more control over our emotions and our actions than we are led to believe. Life can feel overwhelming and draining in modern times, but realizing it’s all just a wave is the first step in accepting it as it is and making the most of it.”
