The collaborative album Clandestine by New York-based producer Anysia Kym and Loraine James is another step forward in the budding experimental music scene.
Mashing together Anysia’s mystical ambient vocals with Loraine’s knack for production, a daring album was created that floats to celestial heights while keeping itself grounded enough to produce a sense of intimacy that immediately taps into one’s inner emotions with ease.
Opening with the track “tension”, Kym’s ethereal voice immediately greets listeners as it ascends into the realm of the unfamiliar with the disruptive and irregular rhythms that beautifully create an uneasy vibe that’s enough to keep one on edge, craving for more.
Other notable tracks in the album include “new links” and “sentimental”, which follow that same asymmetrical format that delivers an unfamiliar sensation that is enough to keep listeners hooked.
The “glitchy” vibe of the tracks in Clandestine is perhaps the winning formula of the album in reaching such great musical heights, but with such profound emotional depths.
The melancholic intimacy in full display is a clear reflection of the personas of Anysia Kym and Loraine James. By baring it all in Clandestine, listeners are provided a glimpse into the sheer musical prowess showcased by the talented musicians.
With the album wrapping up with the track “like a dove”, the chemistry between the two musicians is evident. The vulnerable lyricism accompanied by raw and unfiltered composition creates a celestial soundscape that is impactful, as it is a testament to the beautiful synergy between Anysia and Loraine.
