We Plants Are Happy Plants

Following from my last post on dreamwave, We Plants Are Happy Plants has a new self-titled track out which I've been listening to on repeat all day. This Hungarian producer has created some radical tracks which I've been really excited about for a while now. It's dreamwave taken to a whole new level, with epic soundscapes that pull you in from the first beat and spit you out minutes later with with only vague memories of what you were doing beforehand. Subtle yet driving, delicate yet powerful, this music demands your full attention.

Trippy...

Like every other WPAHP track I've listened to, there's a lot of emotion in here, but it's difficult to place. It seems like there's an element of melancholy underlying everything (perhaps a paradox with the title), but I can also sense a kind of desperate hope in some of the chords. There's definitely a message in here, like a silent voice within the music trying to make a connection. Moving stuff, in many senses of the word.


The melody here is genius. If notes are the musical equivalent of words, this is pure poetry. Just close your eyes and try to make out what the song is saying. You may be surprised at what you come up with.


Another great thing about this track: despite its incredible depth in terms of emotional expression, it still has a beat and you can dance to it, which only adds to its overall power. About a dozen listens on, and I still keep coming back for a repeat. Very few tracks have that effect on me.

I couldn't get away with writing a post on We Plants Are Happy Plants without including "Apollo", one of the most incredible tracks I've heard in a very long time. I'm not even going to try and describe this one, but if you haven't got hold of it already, just give it a listen. You can't possibly go wrong.

We Plants Are Happy Plants - Apollo

If you dig, head on over to Load Aim Fire and get your hands on his 548 EP, which is available FOR FREE! Better yet, if you have the means, name your price and buy it. Ultrasensory approves.

(P.S.: Thanks to Kunk for this one.)
