These themes extend into San Holo's sophomore LP,
bb u ok?, out today (June 4) via Counter Records and the producer's own respected bitbird label. The album's 20 songs deliver both buoyancy and heft, with lush compositions once again fusing guitars and electronics for an indie-leaning but still distinctly electronic sound. For the artist born Sander van Dijck, the album is loaded with meaning -- functioning as a diary of his own thoughts and experiences, and hopefully as an emotional catalyst for listeners, too.
"I always struggle to find the right words when it comes to describing memories, emotions and feelings," van Dijck says. "It just feels like whichever words I chose, it never really comes close to the essence of that experience. I think that’s where music comes into play. Musically I can express so much more emotional depth. I hope that when people hear these songs they just feel it’s a very personal thing for me. Yet, I want people to be able to relate to it in their own way."
