Since we are called Mesmerized, you might guess we are often drawn to misty and hazy offerings. Club Solitaire perfectly fits that aesthetic ideal, championing deliciously fuzzy sonic goo and lyrical blissfulness. Drenching his records in lo-fi energy and retro elements, the American creative manages to create an artistic universe where listeners can lose themselves freely, culled by the lightly detuned sound of Club Solitaire’s electric guitars and wide synthetisers.
‘September’ and ‘Virtual Girl’ are the project’s latest offerings. Packed into a double single, the tracks showcase the eclectic and colourful identity behind the New Jersey-based talent. If ‘September’ is decisively psychedelic and kaleidoscopic, with nostalgic overtones, ‘Virtual Girl’ is instead more nuanced and complex, developing at a slower pace and with a higher emotional charge.
Lyrically, the release seeks to mirror Club Solitaire’s personal experience, as he explains: “‘September’ and ‘Virtual Girl’ are two songs overflowing with nostalgic feelings, made with an attempt to transport listeners into those stages of my life.”
