For so many of us, October signifies the changing of the seasons. As we usher in chilly weather, multi-colored foliage, good books, and hearty, home-cooked meals, we’re always looking to gleefully embrace music that matches those impending changes. Switching it up from the sun-soaked festival anthems and catchy-as-hell indie pop chart toppers, we can’t help but be drawn to tunes that are a little slower, a little more mysterious, and a little more relaxing to flood our airways.
As we welcome in all of the above, we’re also welcoming in a brand new resident artist, and one who has a style that’s perfect for slowing down, and taking life in, minute-by-minute, moment-by-moment.
If you haven’t figured it out by now, we’re, of course, talking about Danish artist Galimatias. Most of you should be familiar with his work by now, especially the stunning pieces composed with Alina Baraz. He flawlessly incorporates a wide array of genres, seamlessly fusing together elements of R&B, reggae, and soul, amongst others. All of those neatly combined influences shine brightly in the most recent EP, Urban Flora, which boasts eight sultry, seductive, and highly addictive songs. If at this point, you’re wondering what exactly that experience entails, please press play below. We’ve made it easy on you by including the entire collection, plus a few of our other favorites. Be warned, though, it might incite the need for some top shelf booze and quality time with your significant other. It always does for us, at least.
One thing that fans and bloggers haven’t seen much with this now Los Angeles-based musician is his personal side. His facebook is bare, showcasing only a few select photos. Interviews with him are hard to come by, as well, with only a few select publications getting the opportunity to dig a little bit deeper into the man behind the music.
For all these reasons, we couldn’t be more pleased to bring on Galimatias as our Resident Artist for the next month. We’ll be bringing you an in-depth interview, some exclusive music, and a few other surprises as well. Make sure to stay tuned all month long.
