Spoq - A Little Later Than I Wanted (2024)

"A Little Later Than I Wanted" by electronic music artist Spoq is a delightful and beautiful, cinematic Lofi-Chillout album spanning over 13 tracks, each proof of the artist's prowess in crafting intelligent compositions that effortlessly transcend genre boundaries.
With an adept hand, Spoq seamlessly weaves together elements of ambient warmth, acoustic instruments, synthetic melodies, Lofi Hip-hop, Garage and Triphop rhythms and percussion born from the depths of found sounds, all accentuated by sharp, glitchy textures.
This album exudes a dualistic aura, wherein playful nostalgia intertwines with a subtle undercurrent of melancholy. While devoid of vocals, Spoq's instrumental arrangements are a veritable patchwork of sonic intricacies, layered with a love for details that reveals new depths upon each listen.
Throughout the album's sonic landscape, Spoq skillfully navigates between moments of introspection, ridiculously trippy vibes, to a sometimes almost epic, cinematic atmosphere, creating a dynamic journey that ebbs and flows with a captivating allure. Most refreshingly, this album is at times so playfully weird, it becomes obvious, that it doesn't always take itself so seriously.
"A Little Later Than I Wanted" stands as an unusual Lofi-Chill album in Spoq's illustrious discography. With its rich tapestry of sound, emotive depth and sprinkles of humour, this album is a must-listen for connoisseurs of electronic music seeking a fresh auditory experience.
