Songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kan Wakan is known for his genre-breaking sound bursting with psychedelic soul and ambient atmosphere. Wakan latest video for his single “Miles Away” ft. Alexander Vincent and directed by Demetry Vasilev features penetrating electro soundscapes and deep powerful vocals that grip you deep in your soul.
Set in intense shades of black and white, the video depicts a group of friends chilling, smoking, drinking and skateboarding. With trippy visuals of distorted melting faces and double irises, the stunning video is a true mind-altering experience.
Kan Wakan reveals, "Alex is one of my closest friends and he and I have worked on various musical projects together for a few years. It was only a matter of time for us to collaborate on a release together, and I feel like this song truly captures a common thread that I've been excited to explore for a while". Singing in the chorus, “I see you from a mile away. You move like you’re in outer space. I don’t think I can hide you I’ve always been beside you,” the track dives into the themes of connection yet also isolation and how those two opposites are found in one another.
Los Angeles-based but Bulgarian, Kan Wakan has performed with prominent artists such as Arctic Monkeys, Royal Blood and Lianne La Havas. He’s produced numerous projects and even scored films such as the critically acclaimed feature “Dead Draw”. Melding organic and electronic production fused with blossoming orchestral arrangements, Kan Wakan’s music is strikingly minimalistic with a beauty like nothing you’ve heard before.
