Breathless

After Midnight

アカテス(Akts)

Today’s premiere comes courtesy of Acid James as he releases the first single from ‘Breaking Through’ his two-part debut album on his imprint, NOIDEA. ‘I’m Calling’ lays the foundation for the second part of the album, the track calls on warped breakbeats, shrieking vocals, menacing acid and off-centre rhythms.

James fell in love with electronic music, synths and off-kilter rhythms from the adolescent age of twelve. James called on inspiration from artists such as Bonobo and Paranoid London, fuelling his passion for acid and intricate sound design. From his early club days performing disco, afro and house, the 303 acid sound kept finding itself amongst his sets. Now the core of each part of the album, his love for acid house is ever-present.

Breaking Through is a two-part debut album from Acid James on his NOIDEA imprint. Both parts are built around a natural soundscape, using recorded samples from James’s travels. His passion for music and club culture still drives the underlying pulse of each track. The album is a euphoric psychedelic experience.

‘I’m Calling’ open the second part of the album in a calm but somewhat nervy fashion, as soundscapes soar around the track, quickly shifting between acid, vocals, glitchy percussion hits, but euphoric pads and bass remain consistent for the journey of the track. Acid James captures an eery yet somewhat comforting vibe in this frenzied symphony.

I'm Calling

Pre-Order

Four Four Premiere: Acid James - I'm Calling [NOIDEA]

Divorce is quite a taboo topic. I would read the Bible, and it would describe divorce in horrible ways. I thought such a thing could never happen to me, but it did. It might be a stretch to say that it felt like my wife died that day, but as far as I was concerned, that's what really happened. My pain is something I now carry forever, no matter how much and how loud I yell, I'm trapped and engulfed here in the most desolate place in the universe: Ophelia's Void.

Lyrics:

You, set that there
Bring, bring up the lights
Okay, no, I said there, not there
Break a leg everybody, break a leg
Okay wait, where's Ophelia?

Remind me of the happy days
This void used to be full
Memories of her swirling around me
This void used to be full
Her words only haunt me now
Phelia, feel me in here, heal me soft, you now
She used to love me and touch me now I'm in her void and destroyed
Phelia, feel me in here, heal me soft, you now
Maybe there's something good about knowing there's no way out
Phelia, feel in me here, heal me soft, you now
No, I need her, this can't be real
Yes, my mind is gone, and it's so surreal
Ophelia, feel me in here, heal me soft, you now
The fair, Ophelia
The fair, Ophelia
Ophelia
The fair, Ophelia
Ophelia
You are gone

Remind me of the happy days (Ophelia)
This void used to be full (Ophelia)
Memories of her swirling around me (Ophelia)
This void used to be full (Ophelia)
Her words only haunt me now (Ophelia)
Phelia, feel me in here, heal me soft, you now (Ophelia)
She used to love me and touch me now I'm in in her void and destroyed (Ophelia)
Phelia, feel in me here, heal me soft, you now (Ophelia)
Maybe there's something good about knowing there's no way out (Ophelia)
Phelia, feel me in here, heal me soft, you now (Ophelia)
No, I need her, this can't be real (Ophelia)
Yes, my mind is gone, and it's so surreal 
Ophelia, feel me in here, heal me soft, you now (Ophelia)

The fair, Ophelia (Ophelia) (Ophelia)
The fair, Ophelia (Ophelia) (Ophelia)
Ophelia, Ophelia (Ophelia) (Ophelia) (Ophelia) (Ophelia)
The fair, Ophelia (Ophelia) (Ophelia)
Ophelia 
You are gone
You're really gone

I loved Ophelia
40,000 brothers could not
With all their quanity of love
Make up my sum

Ophelia's Void

With little to no experience of making music before Summer 2020, Stopyral armed nothing more with an iPad, imagination and desire decided to experiment in creating sound textures & blending beats in a variety of interesting & unique ways. 
 
With over 140k plays on SoundCloud since January 2021 and hitting the top 20 RepostExchange Underground Charts on a consistent basis suggests this was not a bad idea after all😉
