HYPR107 Summer Of Haze - Sheer Beauty

Bandcamp: https://summerofhaze.bandcamp.com/album/sheer-beauty

After a long journey that included phonk, glowtrance, ghostrave, and witch house, Summer of Haze returns to his weedwave roots, at least for a while. His new album, "Sheer Beauty," could be considered a spiritual successor to his beloved album "Jessica," released almost ten years ago. Haze's music has shifted in many different ways over these years, and the new record shows that perfectly. "Sheer Beauty" compiles material from the vaults—some of which was renamed, remixed, or redone—and includes new tunes. This has resulted in a variety of the weedwave sound: it can be different, but it stays true to its core.

It's almost always about the little touches and reminiscences, not just another genre. There are melodies and hints of kitschy pop in Uniporn, Magic Glass, and Smola. There are some retro sci-fi synths in Venustraphobia and an eighties vibe with a trap beat (what a combo!) in Club Breakfast. Trance and witch house make a return in a new form in Keep Your Summer In Haze and Coldest Night. After this journey, you'll get Haze's version of a chill hip-hop beat in Urban's High, and the following track, Cloud 8, is similar in terms of relaxation. It all ends with a perfect experimental piece, Ouva, with its hypnotic drum loop; this ending certainly feels like the beginning of a new chapter for Haze. Long live the weedwave in all its diversity!
