An absolutely staggering mix of thousands of microsounds, producer Asta Hiroki and Tristan de Liege alongside vocalist Muhsinah have managed to bottle the grace of levitation into a sound.
For everyone digging Flying Lotus' work and the post-Dilla experimental hip-hop beat scene, "awake, eyes up" will provide an unmatched transcendental experience with its dreamy space of textures, keys, and ambient synths that all flow in and out of the foreground in luscious waves. I didn't bring up Flying Lotus' name by accident - Muhsinah has previously collaborated with the legendary producer and other ground-breaking artists including Common and Robert Glasper. A perfect addition to the electronic sonic universe created by Asta and Tristan, who are building anticipation for their upcoming album, Anamnesis, with this truly inspiring release.
