Columbus, Ohio-based producer and songwriter Placid Cactus offers yet another glimpse of his upcoming album SUBMARINE with "Confluence" a groovy production rootedin swaying sonics underpinned by chaotic guitar lines and fuzzed-out synths. An atmospheric single that taps into the narrator's search for self-assurance, the track kicks off with textured notes that builds into a glowing outro that fades out with confidence.
An anthem about the merging of two differing personalities and the balance between maintaining both individuality and reliability, the track blends sharp vocal delivery, catchy sonics and thoughtful lyricism to break down the chase for confidence and finding reassurance. Led by a frantic yet crisp arrangement, the track which follows the success of lead single “dywae?” is an enticing peek at his album to come.
The DIY-centric moniker of instrumentalist Mikey Recupero, Placid Cactus has shaped a genre-bending artistry led by experimentation and expression, channeling personal reflections into an intimate yet anthemic sonic experience. Drawing from the lows of an illness and the complexities of life and death, isolationism, alongside the highs of healing and gratitude into a vivid narrative, the album SUBMARINE is set to be an R&B-tinged, dance-inspired musical experience that's as vulnerable as it is uplifting.
