A stellar change in direction last year saw Ian Munro set the stage for his future vision, with tracks such as ‘Fever Dream‘ and his more recent ‘Violence‘ on bitbird’s Gouldian Finch 03 providing a strong foundation for the rising star to build upon.
Today, the Auckland-based producer returns to Quality Goods Records with ‘Again, Again,’ the first single from his upcoming Liminal EP, further pushing his newfound style to genre-defying boundaries. “‘Again, Again’ to me really hits this beautiful moment that sits right in between melancholy and hope. Never quite gravitating more towards either – but occupying both at the same time,” Ian Munro states about his latest.
As he has done so often since bursting onto the scene, the New Zealander sets himself apart from the crowd once more with this gripping track. Expansive, searching vocals carve out a path over its steadily developing backdrop of sound design, as Ian Munro gradually builds the track to an apex of enthralling tension. A deliciously deep, rolling beat brings about a rich undercurrent to its sweeping melodies and refined trap touches, all washed down with those warm, low-frequency hums and warped twangs.
‘Again, Again’ is yet another concrete example of Ian Munro’s evolving musical genius. Don’t miss it below.
