Ensemble Entendu – Music For The Densely Populated, Vol. 2

Roll credits! Ensemble Entendu - a collaboration between Evan Shornstein (Photay) and Astro Nautico co-founder Sam O.B. - return with their first piece of music since Selected Rhythm Works Vol. 1, the duo's debut album released almost 2 years ago exactly. We all feel the passing of time, for better or for worse, but in this case it’s marked with celebration for the past, present and future. A jubilant romper, 'Time Is Certainly Passing' pays homage to stadium pop legends like Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel in a balearic adaptation more suited to intimate, fluorescent dancefloors. Driven by a rhythm at once tropical, disco and afro-beat, painted with soaringly cosmic synth orchestration washed through grand canyons of reverb, Ensemble Entendu have announced their re-arrival here underlined and bold, a testament to the confidence both artists have achieved together over time with their sound as a powerhouse creative tag-team. Keep your ears to the ground for more to come!

Time Is Certainly Passing

Ensemble Entendu - Time Is Certainly Passing

Ensemble Entendu (Photay and Sam O.B.) return with futurist library music for the dance floor and, in this case, yacht sound system. Azalea Chuva is the second single (after last year’s Time Is Certainly Passing) to be culled from the first of two EPs from the Brooklyn-based powerhouse due this year on Astro Nautico. A soft ‘80s synth palette interlocks with 3 over 4 percussion ostinatos in slowly building wonderment. Melodies played by two-octave synth leads sound like they’re made of plucked and whistle tones. By the time the triplets of kosmische-style drums roll through you’re already delightfully caught up in a mesmeric, summery haze. Grab some shade and a cool drink. Settle right in.

'Big Break' is the 3rd single from @ensembleentendu's forthcoming EP, 'Music For The Densely Populated, Vol. 2' due out 7/26 via Astro Nautico.
