Hibernation is the new project of Seb Taylor, the master of Electronic music responsible for well known projects such as Angel Tears, Kaya Project, Shakta, Digitalis and more. Seb was asked to go places he never went before, and he came back with “Some Things Never Change”, Hibernation’s debut album. It is a mix of downtempo electronica touching many genres and styles. Seb mixes in aspects of Lounge, Glitch, IDM, Psychill, Breaks, Ambient and more, and the outcome is something special, a new sound. It is a more experimental sound, quirky glitchy warm downtempo electronic music. Expect Seb’s usual syncopated grooves and strong atmospherics with an additional unexpected edge. Chillout with a twist. “Some Things Never Change” is a powerfully immersive experience of multi-coloured electronica, lush sound collaging and imaginative downtempo beats. Literally brimming with a wide variety of synthetic sounds, liquid effects and a generous scattering of glitchy percussives, Hibernation comes across as a highly detailed, many-hued construction that somehow manages at the same time to convey an inviting effortlessness. Among the bewildering array of lucid digital structures are various organic instrumental and human elements - vocal slices, disjointed spoken fragments, smooth female vocalising, whispering; Seb's love of global sound still enhancing his music in places - subtle hints of international material drifting into the mix here and there. There are a number of jazzy sections with idle brushes sweeping across snares and lolling double bass suggesting late night lounge rhythms where muted trumpet phrases pierce the air, electric piano lines carrying the melody. The most extremely chilled tracks on the album are, for me, the most exciting pieces here - the opener with its unhurried piano touches, loose percussion and floating pads; the deliciously nocturnal passages of fractured phrases and soft focus strings meandering over a silky sub-bass line. Just as his track on “Max.Chillroom” was a standout effort, we have here an enturire album with more well-conceived and totally delivered tracks. Very hi tech, yet very human - exploratory downtempo for the more discerning listener. |
