Solitude

The latest release from Madloch’s Sound Avenue imprint welcomes Balad back to the label for a new EP entitled ‘A Distant Memory’. The Australian artist first appeared on the Belgian imprint in 2019 with ‘The Days’, an EP produced alongside frequent studio partner Bigasti. The Sydney residents deep sound has continued to flourish as he carefully adds to a resume that includes releases on Balance Music, BeatFreak Recordings, Where The Heart Is and Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden. Now making a welcome return to Sound Avenue, Balad presents his first solo EP for the label alongside a remix from Zone+. 

Beginning with the title selection Balad explores a gorgeous blend of organic drums and charming musicality. Warm beats and layers of exotic percussion set the foundation for a narrative of wistful themes and nature motifs. Plush tones then drift over the framework for impassioned moments, before melting to a charming centrepiece and heartfelt finale.

The second selection ‘A Half Remembered Dream’ continues the ethos of the EP while adding a slightly more reflective quality. Smooth, elegant and a touch romantic, it’s a captivating eight-minute journey. Muted tones and impassioned wails marry elegant motifs and thoughtful atmospherics, while exotic percussion and fluttery concepts provide the perfect prelude to a gorgeous final act.

The third and final original ‘A Place Forgotten’ once again finds Balad operating at a creative peak. From smooth, percussive beginnings comes buoyant yet elegant rhythms. Blissful atmospheres and redolent shades slowly descend over dulcet beats and organic drums. As the narrative evolves so too does its emotive appeal, with sentimental motifs and soulful refrains trailing over the framework, before a muted piano highlights a glowing break and dreamy final act. 

The release concludes with Zone+ returning to the label and providing the lone interpretation of ‘A Half Remembered Dream’. The Bahrain born, Dubai based artist has firmly established himself with releases on All Day I Dream, Akbal Music, Underyourskin and Sol Selectas. Having first appeared on Sound Avenue in 2017 with a collaborative EP alongside Bachir Salloum, Zone+ now makes a welcome return to the label with a gorgeous rendition of ‘A Half Remembered Dream’. Taking a cue from the original while adding a funkier state of mind, the Dubai resident crafts a lovely complement to the original. Subterranean beats and perfectly contoured bass stabs create a massive sense of space, while lively percussion adds further bounce to the narrative. Timely fills create dynamic moments across the first act, while warm overlays highlight an emotive final movement. An exceptional remix from Zone+, capping off a welcome return to the label for both himself and Balad.

We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do.

A Distant Memory

Premiere: Balad - A Half Remembered Dream (Zone+ Remix) [Sound Avenue]

Francesca Louise is an indie/folk singer-songwriter based in Liverpool, whose story-telling live performance is one to watch. Her Carole King and Laura Marling inspired vocal style pairs with the lyricism of the likes of Billie Marten and Joan Baez. Louise gained her first BBC Radio 2 airplay with Jo Whiley and has achieved support from Fresh on the Net and BBC Introducing regional stations, after her latest releases. New music is on the horizon and the artist is attracting listeners from across the UK since her TV appearances on Series 6 of The Voice UK. She has supported established songwriters; Starsailor's James Walsh and Seahorses Chris Helme being at the top of her list so far. Latest festival line ups include Cambridge Folk and Lancaster, and she looks to gain more traction in 2024 with new material and live appearances.

Wow, hadn't realised what a journey SoundCloud would take me on.  After many years of passive listening to music I've dieted on a variety of tastes. My appetite for new sounds is undiminished and SC provides plenty of food. I am not a musician and have only recently started to listen positively to the sounds. My early years began listening to music from ABC, The Beatles, The Carpenters Dire Straits Eagles Fleetwood Mac Genesis Elton John Led Zeppelin Gilbert O'Sullivan Rod Stewart Supertramp Tangerine Dream Vangelis The Who and many more.
If you can't spot a trend in my current likes it may be because it is diverse. I love listening to all my playlists which contain tracks that I like and if you like any of the music you must thank the artists not me.
