A New World might be the longest of the three EPs, but it feels just as intentional and acts as the perfect close to a much-loved series. With the release of the second installment of his Analog Dreams series, GRAMMY-nominated producer extraordinaire Nicolay has made it clear, once again, that he did not come to play. The aptly titled EP, Never Stand Still, gives his tribe of faithful followers everything they need to do just that. In just five tracks and 29 minutes, listeners are thrust into an almost trance-like energetic realm, a much-needed departure from the chaos of the current climate.
Described as a dedication to house music heads, we knew we were in for something different from Lights In The Sky, the series' first EP, about halfway through the first track. Just as we settled into the spirited "You Break It, You Buy It," our maestro seamlessly transitions to an equally intricate and intoxicating space before taking off completely on "First In Flight. Towards its ending, we hear a familiar melody and later find that the track was originally created back in the days of The Foreign Exchange's Love In Flying Colors album.
Add the project to your collection from your preferred digital platform and purchase the high-resolution format on Bandcamp. Vinyl heads can get ready to pre-order the full Analog Dreams set on vinyl upon the release of the third and final installment, A New World.
In a year that's featured its fair share of tragedies, a global pandemic, a contentious election and whatever else it wants to throw at us before p. Unfortunately, the aforementioned pandemic has most of us stuck in the crib in a strict quarantine. Music can be its own sort of getaway, though, especially when its from Nicolay. The producer and founding member of The Foreign Exchange has transported us to many places with his own solo work especially his City Lights series.
What kept pulling me back in was the album's final track, the somehow elliptical and conclusive "This City Ain't the Same Without You". Over a trickling keyboard pattern and a breezy guitar strum, Phonte and guest YahZarah echo the song's title into the ether with a lingering hook. It urged me to keep revisiting the album, and each time around, another song would stand out, until I soon began to admire all of them. But as with all albums possessing this level of depth and detail, that's how this kind of thing works.
