Matthias Meyer’s acclaimed label Strangely Enough returns with its first release of 2023, a stunning EP from Come Closer, backed by a sublime remix from the label boss.
The EP’s three tracks were all recorded at different times of the year, which is reflected in the mood, music and sound.
Opening track, the uplifting ‘Glory’, is the perfect summer track which evokes warm, balmy evenings, early dawns, and dancing open air from dusk to dawn.
The invigorating and experimental ‘Chuvak’ is inspired by spring and the re-awakening of nature after winter, with the nocturnal birds returning from Southern Hemisphere countries, and the rhythms of the night becoming louder and more captivating, as the sun starts to rise earlier.
Finally, the dreamy and aptly titled ‘Wonderful’ evokes autumn and nostalgia for the passing summer. As leaves fall on the street, the evenings become colder, and people start to seek warmth from the fireplace.
Strangely Enough label boss Matthias Meyer provides a sumptuous remix of ‘Wonderful’ to close the EP in true style.
