The international concept album curated by 22Twenty Club, Easy Listening: Earth Volume 1 provides an otherworldly musical experience. The five-track body of work is an eccentric compilation filled with atmospheric sounds and gentle sonic landscapes.
Riley Hyland is a 15-year-old electro pop producer creating a uniquely futuristic sound. Their music has been known to focus on themes of superficiality and technology. Touching on the egotistical nature of people in society, her track “America” makes a strong statement. Hyland boldly details a power hungry mind in this infectious synth-heavy single.
During the height of the pandemic, New York was one of the places that was hit the hardest. Seeing a once bustling city now almost abandoned is definitely a bizarre sight to witness. BB Brownstone creates a piece evoking that feeling. With spacey synths and intense beats, the song provides a dreamy far off quality. The group is an underground production project from Brussels basement dweller and Fat Trout Trailer Park frontman Sean Raab. These tracks as well as others make Easy Listening: Earth Volume 1 so memorable and compelling.
