Giraffage's new tune "Slowly" sounds like its album artwork looks – a fresh, summery hit, vibrant with synths and choppy vocals from NYC based artist Matosic. Enter a synth-pop oasis upon listening to the new bubbly track, with its soaring synths and Giraffage's quintessential high-energy production.
Last week, the San Francisco based producer announced his debut album Too Real, and "Slowly" is the first cut from the LP. The full length album is due out in October via Counter Records, and Giraffage is set to embark on an extensive North American tour just after its release. Included in the album are intriguing collaborations with Japanese Breakfast, Angelica Bass, Harrison Lipton and more. The artist shares a personal anecdote about his new work,
"This album was written from 2015 – 2017 during a dark period of my life. So finally finishing it was a rather cathartic experience, and I’m excited for what the future may hold.”
Before he sets out on the 30-date tour in October, Giraffage is set to play Elements Festival in New York City this weekend. Find Giraffage's tour dates below and listen to "Slowly" now for a taste of his new album.
