‘West’ appears on the horizon like a blissful mirage, inviting you to dreamy and ethereal lands. Sharing soothing energy and bucolic tones, the track seems to aid introspection and self-reflection, offering the listener an immensely cathartic and healing listening experience. It’s all achieved through the use of mellow electronica and soft pop, layering polite drum machines with long textures and shimmering keys.
The result is excellent, a true jewel which greatly stands out in the anonymous flow of daily releases. Penned by San Francisco-based creative Ki To and featuring Delorians, ‘West’ will serve the project well; being such a peculiar, niche record, it will soon find its way to the most picky and deserving listeners. It’s a definite step up from Ki To’s debut effort ‘Layin’, a tune that was perhaps a touch more commercial.
Anyway, the blueprint for success is there: ethereal atmospheres, dreamy melodies and spacious vocals. It’s a winning formula! Speaking about the inspiration behind it, Ki To explains: “Whether it be friendships or romance, I feel as if people can find comfort within this track. I hope this song can bring healing and evoke emotions within ourselves.”
