PREMIERE: Ena B. - Fernweh
Readers at Delayed may be aware of our pilgrimages upstate to our home away from home. The long weekends away at a place we affectionately call the ‘Barn’ serve as a mental recharge, and rejuvenation of creative inspiration, not to mention time spent together with close friends. During one of last years’ editions, we were grateful to spend time with Lisbon-based, Austrian-born artist, Verena aka ena b. Her passion for music, and penchant for creating ethereal vocal ambient tracks all contributed to a fit in with our crew of fellow music nerds and producers.
Marking a new chapter in her musical career, ena’s forthcoming self-release teases a darker, techno edge. She forgoes the light, melodic pads of the past and dives into the depths of a grittier, harder sound. Fernweh, our premiere for today is a slow burner, building tension with every beat. The kicks and spacey textures laying the groundwork for a swelling crescendo of synths later. A moment that would be right gracing any club or dimly lit room, full to the brim with writhing bodies.
Building on these themes is a 5 track offering titled, ‘Nightwalk’ that will be out soon via Mexican imprint Secuencias Temporales. Between the two releases, it’s a 1-2 punch of deep techno, and breaks that shows off her production chops.
Fernweh will be out on her Bandcamp, the 3rd of October.
