Paul Blackford - Sunset Gradients (2021)

'Sunset Gradients' paints a vivid horizon of sound, observed in solar cycles of time. Through passive immersion in its atmosphere of elegant, sparkling production, or active engagement with equally compelling beats and melodies, there are several contexts to go deep into this collection while easily forming a habit of basking in its effervescent vibes.

Elements of electro funk, synthwave and vaporwave, hip hop, downtempo electronica and lo fi beats make up the 14 vibrant cuts on this LP. Paul Blackford seems to draw infinite patterns and hooks from the ether, colouring them in his own distinctly-fashioned palette of sound and vision. 'Sunset Gradients' is a calm wave set of warm moods, every track surging through its own perceptible hue, and purposefully giving way to the next.

Seeking a mental vacation, peaceful isolation, thoughtful reflection, focus or distraction, this is an essential soundtrack for profoundly chill experiences.
