Great discovery this week! Isaac Delusion
This record is like switching off the alarm clock just to dream for another 5 minutes. Either way, only the shadow of an airy sleep can allow someone to
intermix pop, electronic, hip hop loops, folk and a funk bass, all that
with an
unbearable lightness.
Isaac Delusion makes sleepwalking tunes, made of dreamy ballads. Always
these vague landscapes, undefinable vastness and also time that is
running through our fingers. It’s a happy marriage of genres, it’s all
about something spontaneous. Endless musical horizons, selecting samples
and melodies on the sole criterion of emotion, and everything starts there. Then,
it just makes bubbles.
The band is apart, it wanders while maintaining its identity – you
can feel the “label with the elephant” philosophy floating around. A
year ago, the duo barely existed : it’s an
ongoing musical evolution, and our three mysterious birds are still exploring.
Midnight Sun drew its
imagination
from travels to Iceland and elsewhere, from experiments. All this has
been amplifying lately, a few gigs in New York for CMJ Festival, Berlin,
Barcelona and Warsaw, the Pitchfork Festival, Radio Nova, vinyl,
encounters.
Dreams actually stick to their skin. Just like they disappear when
trying to catch one of them, their music is elusive. The first release
was about sun at midnight, the second is about dawn. They are already
working on a full length, because light can’t stop them
dreaming awake.
