Moglebaum – Slow Love

Much like the flora from its album artwork, Moglebaum’s organic electronic approach continues to flourish on their new single. It’s an aptly titled track called “Slow Love” that’s a lush blend of slow-jam synths and sultry vocals…fuck I’m using a lot of adjectives in a two sentence stretch, but there’s so many elements to appreciate here. For a relatively new act, Moglebaum has a sound that’s wholly their own – I listen to hundreds of new tracks a week, yet I can’t pinpoint anyone else that’s executing this style to such great heights.

As someone totally immersed in music day in and day out, it’s easy to lose the thrill of discovering new acts that I had before working in the music industry. I’m a product of the streaming era and a member of the music industry, so it’s all too easy to accumulate hundreds of songs in a playlist that I enjoy without ever digging into the catalogs of each individual artist (or even remember that I added them to said playlist to begin with). That being said, there’s still releases out there that keep me actively returning to listen repeatedly, a ~prestigious honor~ that both of Moglebaum’s 2017 singles have warranted.

Moglebaum – Echo Of Time

Words that came to mind during my first spin of Moglebaum’s newest: ethereal, organic, otherworldly. “Echo of Time” is a track that stretches beyond sonic boundaries in such a way that feels more natural than any conformist genre piece out. The guitar-work has as much to say as a vocalist, echoing underlying sentiments of the past and future, the present nestled somewhere in between. Its transition into actual vocals is utterly stunning – I sense a blend of passion and wisdom that can’t simply be conjured – and the addition of electronic elements is an enthralling bonus.

Tracks like “Echo of Time” are why I love music – it inspires thoughts of fascination that other forms of art rarely accomplish. It allows me to push my imagination to the limit and envision an amorphous vibe or a fully fleshed out story that’s unique to how a sound influences my mind in particular. It creates worlds that I want to dive into and explore as long as possible. I hope you experience a similar sense of wonderment when you hear “Echo of Time”.
