Elderbrook - Put It Down

New Talking EP! Itunes - Spotify - New Single Good Times: Spotify - Itunes- New single Woman: iTunes Spotify Tickets on sale now for Elderbrook’s upcoming Headline UK Tour: Respected producer, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Elderbrook has rounded off the summer with his biggest body of original work to date; the 7 track ‘Talking’ EP. The deluxe EP is a culmination of the many styles that have influenced Alexander Kotz over the course of his career. Moving through various moods and subgenres, it still contains his inimitable vocals and overarching sense of feeling that have come to characterise the Elderbrook sound. The first single to come from the full-length production, ‘Woman’, was separately released on the 28th July. The laid back pace is matched with pitched-down chopped vocals, contrasting with the wistful lyrics. It’s produced by Craven J, but exemplifies Kotz’s unique approach to being a singer and a producer; “phonetics are as important as lyrics. My voice adds another percussive element to the sounds.” ‘Good Times’ followed ’Woman’ on the 30th of August ahead of the full EP release. A collaboration with multi-platinum selling British producer and songwriter Starsmith, it’s one of the more feelgood moments of the EP thanks to the upbeat keys and catchy vocal chorus. Likewise, title track ‘Talking’’s descending chords and gentle bassline is a summery piece of indie-electronica, whilst the chunky house stabs in ‘Let Go’, with Nicky Nighttime of NAATIONS on the production, make it one of the most dancefloor-orientated tracks out of the release. In contrast, ‘Put Down’’s breakdown hints at Elderbrook’s roots creating hiphop and trap, as does the fuzzy bassline and juddering bass riffs of ‘IOU’. The EP closes off with the aptly titled ‘Feels Like A Sunday’, a laid back ode to the weekend showcasing Kotz’s vocal layering skills. Packed full of material that will please both existing Elderbrook fans and convert the uninitiated, each track on the EP feels strong enough to be a standalone single in its own right. Despite the diversity of styles on show, the EP also works as a body of work overall thanks to the distinctive, ever evolving ‘Elderbrook sound’ that ties each track together. ‘Talking’ cements Kotz’ status as one of the most innovative, undeniably multitalented young producers on the rise right now.
