Finally got to a record I’ve had on my to-do list for the last few weeks, the lovely Nomad but South Korean/Japanese duo TENGGER, out now via Beyond Beyond Is Beyond. The record as a whole is a treat, providing some of the most calming and introspective melodies, textures and sounds I’ve heard all year. The song “Water” immediately stuck out to me on my first listen, so it makes sense that this was a single. Blissful synth passages meander over a steady, plinking pattern, while disembodied vocals provide alternative layers to the gorgeous equation. Like I said earlier, if you’re looking for a peaceful, meditative listen, I cannot recommend Nomad enough, but if you’re just plain interested, I highly suggest you start here.
