Los Angeles-based producer Slushii leads us on a dreamy yet anthemic sonic journey on 18-track collection Chrysalis, which blends emotive electronic textures and catchy hooks for an alluring artistry that sways freely between expansive festival hits and introspective musical moments.
Rooted in a message of transformation, the album encapsulates the empowering journey between who you are and who you are becoming across each ethereal, enticing note.
Featuring collaborations with CloudNone, SPIRIT LINK, and TIFFVNYJOY, the narrative of the album is heavily driven by the internal dialogue between Slushii and his sapientdream alias.
Each song from the album syncs to Sapient Dream, a sci-fi webcomic – brought to life by Slushii in collaboration with WEBTOON – which tells the story of high schooler Kuro as he battles otherworldly forces in surreal, dreamlike settings.
Speaking of the innovative fusion of manga and music, Slushii says, "Sapient Dream is a universe I’ve been 'dreaming' up for years. It’s anime, it’s music, it’s all the things that make me, me, rolled into one. Bringing this story to life with WEBTOON is a vision realized, and I can’t wait to take anime and manga fans on a high-stakes journey into the immersive world of Kuro, Priscilla, and their friends."
Julian Scanlan since emerging on the scene as Slushii has consistently showcased sonic evolution, spanning everything from lush soundscapes to dubstep anthems. Now with Chrysalis and Sapient, his far-reaching musicality takes a new turn as he offers up an immersive storytelling experience that leaves us enchanted.
