'NOSTALIA' is the latest album from UK-based multi-instrumentalist and experimental composer, datshredboi.
Inspired by ambient, genre-bending artists like Aphex Twin, 'NOSTALIA' is a unique collection of songs that experiments with layers of lo-fi beats and samples that collectively form an eerie and immersive space for the listener.
Songs like 'GYROSCOPE' and 'SHADEBODY' sound like songs that belong in retro horror films, with its disjointed and dissonant melodies adding to the cinematic charm of the album. Throughout this 15-track album, datshredboi showcases distinctive stylistic sounds that builds an unsettling but suspenseful atmosphere, allowing the listener to pick apart the production. 'NOSTALIA' is a highly experimental album that invites the listener to use their imagination, with datshredboi integrating brief gaps of silence and mysterious samples to heighten the uneasy tension that underpins the album. Overall, this is a cinematic and cleverly crafted album, one that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
