| Everything from the sounds of children playing in the sands of a Balearic beach to crickets in the grass and bells recorded from his father’s apartment in Moscow are utilised, with the producer also recording and sampling his own voice to create distant, choir-like melodies.
Two tracks from the album, ‘Rolling Back’ and ‘No Fear’ have already been released as singles, with the latter being accompanied by a cinematic music video directed by creative mastermind Rupert Hoeller. Shot in the abandoned mining areas of south-west Spain, the forgotten landscapes serve as a visual symbol for the exploitation of nature through the human hand. The third track, ‘Salvation’, was released earlier this week with a mesmerising continuation of No Fear’s visual accompaniment.
The record marks MOTSA’s fourth release since 2016’s Petricolour – named after the label he set up to release it. The EP’s lead track ‘Colours’ has amassed over 4 million Spotify streams to date, while his following single “Falling” received support from Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 6. In the three years since, the artist has embarked on a world tour, playing shows in South Africa, Mexico, Portugal, Poland and his native Austria as his stock continued to rise.
MOTSA’s signature sound – a soulful yet driven harmonic blend – is present throughout Perspectives, continuing to propel the multi-talented artist to the highest acclaim into 2019 and beyond.
