You’d think people would build up some sort of tolerance to the fact that Florida seems to be consistently crushing it when it comes to cool, awesome music but here we are. Orlando electronic producer BNGL (pronounced Bengal) quietly dropped an introductory tune by the name of “Seismic Tides” and it’s nothing short of incredible. Part of its allure is in how much of a slow burner it is – reaching out its dream-dusted space-pop tendrils slowly but surely before you realize you’ve been lured right into the middle of its oceanic expanse. It’s also refreshing that it doesn’t rely all that heavily on the persistence and build of heavy beats like producers are wont to do. Instead “Seismic Tides” establishes a rippled melody effect and works outwards from there like solving a puzzle without the corner pieces. “Seismic Tides” is essentially variations on a theme but damn if it’s not an interestingly futuristic take on an idea pretty much as old as music itself.
BNGL has an EP in the works that’ll hopefully soon see the light of day. Here’s hoping.
