I rest easy knowing that, while I sleep, there are other individuals in the world awake and striving to share, and sometimes create, spectacular music. There's no difference in time or place able to stunt that endeavor, at least not on a global scale, and it's a wonderful thing to recognize this everlasting influx of new tunes and people that spread them. I could drop dozens of names here to further illustrate the miniature monologue, but that would be tedious, and I'm really too lazy to engage in such an activity, anyway. I'm going to focus on one person in particular, then, whose formal debut work went live last night while the majority of us were tucked away into another daytime recluse, and allow his material to exemplify the kinds of musical magic that happens while we retire in the night. John Dewurst (Sable) is the individual responsible for the above and present text, with his absolutely electrifying EP, Hypercolour, having released in the bowels of the past evening for us folks in North America. It's a four-track affair that had been released through the astonishingly consistent DIE HIGH label, and it's legitimate evidence that at all times, and from all places, there is something spectacular being sent into the airwaves for our listening pleasure, whether we are aware of the happenings or not or not. The project itself partakes in much experimental electronic, as heard on the opening effort of the EP, and really cements itself as something special the moment that the extraterrestrial-esque vocal samples in "You Too" synergize with the pounding bass that emerges after a minute elapses. The culmination of the elements result in otherworldly vibes dipped lightly in earthly exoticness, and provide a decidedly new sound to analyze and appreciate. "Dreamer" is the next track that necessitated highlight, piggybacking off of the colorfully bizarre synths appearing on the former effort. The bright acoustical energy continues here, and manifests into additionally unfamiliar sonic territory not long after initialization. The promoted synths throughout sound like robotic cat purrs, which is obviously fascinating, and the overall atmosphere of the track is something peculiarly warm, like an amiable stranger on the streets. Sable wraps up the EP with two more vibrant instrumentals, each as uptempo as those constituting the previous pair, and succeeds to leave a lasting and fabulously favorable impression on all fortunate enough to flock to his wondrous work. Hypercolour is really one of the most refreshingly strange works I've listened to in all my history of listening to music, and its ability to elicit awe and nodding heads simultaneously is truly testament to the creative quality Sable managed with this effort of his. With all that said, it's definitely in your best interest to check out the standout cuts below, and then to waltz over to the full stream here to get hooked on the other tracks and the artist himself.
