Isolation

Sometimes it’s just about getting through the day. ‘Isolation’, the debut single from beat-maker Stan Lodge means you might even enjoy the time alone.  A collaboration with songwriter and guitarist edbl, it’s the kind of track that can change a mood -  it has a meditative quality that’s full without being distracting. The pair blend neo-soul influence with jazz/funk guitar and hip hop drums à J Dilla to create a seamless lo-fi tune that showcases a shared artistic vision. It’s one of those rare instrumentals that’s varied enough to stand alone but would also be complimented by a voice - A Tribe Called Quest or Erykah Badu spring to mind, indicative of its classic sound. The presence of live instruments gives ‘Isolation’ a warmth and richness that feels like velvet rubbed the right way. With a collaborative EP on the horizon, we look forward to more sublime tracks for these slow days from Stan and the gang.
