The title of Manatee Commune's latest release, "Mosaic," aptly captures the experience, with its gorgeous tapestry of layers creating a rich and intricate body of work.
Manatee Commune broke into the scene over a decade over with a sound that borrowed from chillwave, indie, and electronica. Lately, he has dived into a progressive sort of electronic music that's brimming with emotion and multi-colored production. "Mosaic" serves as an example of this sentiment, and I loved how the dreamy first half of the track eventually throws us into an upbeat, bass-led section in a surprising manner. This back-and-forth between atmospheric and enlivening continues throughout the progression thus acquainting us with a wide array of fascinating moments.
