Today we have the pleasure of introducing you to the new single from dream-electronic artist
FLDPLN. ‘Escalator’ is the first taste of his forthcoming record by the same name. Scheduled for release on July 30, it will be available both digitally and on color vinyl via the label
Sillas Famosas.
It’s ironic that this project should be based on Phoenix, Arizona with FLDPLN (“field-plan”) being the new solo project of
Andrew Saks, created by him from the ashes of Southern California shoegaze band
Sway (‘The Millia Pink and Green’ EP, ‘This Was Tomorrow’).
Fans of such artists as M83, Bonobo, Pale Saints and The Midnight will be thrilled to discover Saks’ latest project, presenting 11 tracks and, essentially, a whole new world of electronic-based dreampop. Clearly under the influence of 80s pop,
Being in your 20s is, as Karydas explains in this song, to be in a state of constant flux. Karydas finds herself pining for the simplistic emotional responses of her youth, when things made sense to her. She still succumbs to childish worries, like acne and the dentist. A grazed knee sends her spinning back to when she was seven, when pain had an obvious physical cause and a definite treatment. âWhen did I get so fearful?â she asks. As the world whirs around her, she focuses on the freckles on her loverâs face, a constant in a shifting sea. This is an infectious and spritely pop song, with shades of Spiritus by Lisa Mitchell, and a yearning simplicity of spirit. As the narrator of her own emotions, Karydas takes a long view even while surrounded by the mess of everyday life; she longs to hit pause on the world while knowing this isnât possible â or even preferable.
