Guitar lovers, behold! Today I have something for you that I’m sure will pleasantly tickle your eardrum and make your fingertips tremble. Well, maybe if you’re fan of Sullivan King you may not be in the right place, but if in any way you dig San Holo or Ratatat, SVDKO has got you covered.
After months of quiet and secret work, with its brand new release evocatively titled Blossom, the young Belgian producer has broken his own boundaries, finally finding the right way to express his feeling he was looking for.
As you can imagine, this resolution has the sound of a guitar, used in this song for the first time as a lead. Fragile and melancholic like autumns leaves in the intro and the breakdown, while sharp as the icy winter’s wind in the drop, it’s indeed the instrument that sets the tone in every segment of the song. In case the first few seconds sound too much like a generic indie pop hit for you, hold on a little but longer until the iconic trap hi hats enter the game. From there on, the electronic soul of the track comes out, gifting us with an unexpected punchy drop that spices the mild atmosphere shaped by the guitar’s arpeggios.
Enjoy ‘Blossom’ below and be sure to keep both eyes on all SVDKO’s channels to be updated on new music from him: Tik Tok included.
