Phonseca English Night Bristol Southern central England has a massive music culture, with Bristol taking gold in nearly every league. They have a reputation for loud and proud musicians and music lovers who gladly perform and play a variety of sounds. When it comes to dreampop, Phonseca have the relay baton. It’s the turn of the synthesiser and voice duo to celebrate the home run for their second album. Called Everything Lasts Forever, the record tips a hat towards people like Pet Shop Boys, New Order, and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Their lead single, English Night, is a certain export hit with international fans dreaming of being in Bristol at 10pm as the main act comes on. It’s Phonseca and the video is now. The bass hits with a thump and a riptide that carries us down the river. The music becomes a song as the vocal begins with a Disney Princess style voice. The melody soars through the composition like a high-flying bird and the words describe a night out doing all the classic things. A four-stroke rhythm gives us a square section of floorspace, and the lyrics evaporate into clouds of mesmerising drifts of projection. You’ll need a great voice to sing with this one, I’m sure no-one will mind if you have a go anyway. Thriving in the emotional drama of orchestral relationships, the track carries us through the memory and the picture with hopeful, knowing glances.

Take A Relaxing Moment To Be Enchanted By Staring At The Sea From The International Duo Phonseca22/10/2024

Staring At The Sea Old Bad Habits A teaser from the sophomore album by Phonseca, a collaboration between Bristol’s Matthew O'Connor on keyboards and the Swedish songstress Kristina Sheppard, Staring At The Sea takes synthpop to serious levels. It’s an extraordinary time, with their debut already gaining high profile attention for its inventive ambient electronic take on songwriting. Written about seeking love and not holding back, a musical serenade awaits within the enchanting mix of 80s style drum loops, synthesiser, and voice. A blank canvas for the imagination, an open sea before us takes all the time it needs to hypnotise and enchant us with its open-ended mystery. A song with this title surely takes inspiration from this intellectual escape from the self. Let’s listen and find out. Bouncing calmness manifests through tone and clarity as the keyboard enters with digital melody. As the lyrics begin, drumming kicks in with light touches and a hi-hat snare driven tempo. A silky vocal begins to drizzle the music with lines of poetic story. A laid-back beauty simmers on the low heat as bass rises with wholesome and elastic range. The song begins to speak, Swedish language spoken word haunts the music as piano echoes through the dream. Relaxing and enriched with a sense of folk charm, the synthpop frame takes a lead all of its own with cinematic and karaoke suited delivery.
