Irish producer collaborates to deliver dowtempo folktronica gem.

With Felicity Breathes, Peter Vogelaar continues to hone his unique production style that has landed him placements on ABC’s ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ and others. 

Collaborating with fellow Irishman Deaf Joe, the song laments the over analytical demise of a relationship.

Deaf Joe relates: "I had the beat track on my headphones for a few months, and knew it was special, I loved it and waited and waited til the right melody clicked in my head. I just got the urge one day and was like “right, you’re not leaving the studio today ‘til it’s done”. Lyrically I was thinking about that moment in a relationship when someone starts to ask questions about what’s going on. You’ve been coasting along and everything is amazing and then suddenly all you’re doing is talking about your relationship, ‘the’ relationship. It sucks all the magic out of things, turns everything upside down. The way I see it you’ve got to live in the present and be grateful for each day together. You’ve got to chill out, breathe, relax, or else you’re f*cked..."

In a contemplative exploration on solitude, Sergio Díaz De Rojas has delved into a nostalgic state of mind after moving from Peru to Spain, leaving friends and family behind for a new chapter of his life. Various late nights by the piano led to the creation of a softly sorrowful tribute to one of his favourite composers, Fryderyk Chopin.

The project got its title from Sergio’s fascination of old postcards to be found while slowly strolling through a quiet flea market, lending a vivid visual for the wistful sense of (dis)connection apparent in the two pieces. Porcelain, beautifully fragile, has a solemn intensity in its movement, flowing with the grace and concentration of a dancer, easily evoking a sense of lonesome mindfulness. Pomegranate is equally graceful but harbouring a hint of sensuality; it beckons and moves away, slow-burning but relentlessly passionate.

Postcards is available digital and on limited edition 7-inch vinyl, featuring artwork by multidiciplinary designer Ryan Carl.

Composed and performed by Sergio Díaz De Rojas

Lyrics:
I’m on the night train
And then I lose control
I’m on the night train
And then I lose control

Will I be yours
Will I be lost
Will I be yours
Will I be loved

I - I feel on top of the world
You and I - I feel on top of the world
You and I -

I’m on the night train
And then I lose control
I’m on the night train
And then I lose control

Will I be yours
Will I be lost
Will I be yours
Will I be loved

I - I feel on top of the world
You and I - I feel on top of the world
You and I - (I’m not the night train) I feel on top of the world
You and I - (I’m not the night train) I feel on top of the world
(and then I lose)

Wish you would
Hypnotise me until the world spins
In synchronicity and virtue
Hypnotise me until the world spins
In synchronicity and virtue

Virtue
Virtue

I Feel On Top Of The World

Inspired whilst exploring abandoned spaces in suburban Paris, this new project was developed in creative fusion with the work of Arnaud Liard, a visual artist specialising in urban art. The collaboration formed led to an innovative visual concept wherein music and painting become one.
This first single marks the launch of six unique objet d’art that will be unveiled in November 2020.

Resurgence is also accompanied by a limited edition of 40 custom made cassettes which are be on sale on Your Master's Voice Records’ website.
