It's a huge atmospheric feeling listening to ekeaux latest song called gone places. Ekeaux is a music projekt started by the artist Eric Ko. Eric makes both visual and sound based art and this can be heard (or maybe seen) throughout gone places. The whole song is like a slowly growing crescendo that starts of in a minimalistic way and then starts expanding with the addition of new elements. A heavy bass and melodic ambient guitar binds the whole song together and creates a soundscape that lead the mind to the likes of Sigúr Ros. Alike Sigúr Ros ekeaux have this visual aspect almost incorporated into the tones. It's as if the grand and impressionistic music adds a filmic dimension to reality. Like everything is seen through a dark veil or a grey filtered lens. Ekeaux makes music that in itself feels like a movement both inwards and outwards Weekly Indiepop is really glad to have made this new acquaintance.
