The Formalist reveal ambient new single ‘Happenstance’

Pioneering the intersection of ambient and experimental genres, The Formalist, led by Stephen Krieger and Erik Laroi, announce the release of their first 2024 single, the alluring ‘Happenstance’. 

Serving as the prelude to their much-anticipated album, ‘Happenstance’ showcases The Formalist‘s innovative fusion of cold electro beats and lush synths expertly dusted with Erik Laroi’s ethereal vocals. This return solidifies their ability to blur the lines between electronic and organic, crafting an immersive experience that resonates with both past and present.

In this introspective track, extracted from the forthcoming album A Trace Of Yourself, to be released later this year, The Formalist explores the serendipitous nature of the traces we leave behind. Laroi’s poignant lyrics narrate a complex relationship with nostalgia, touching on the unexpected and often melancholic nature of the imprints we create. The accompanying lyric video, composed entirely of Erik’s family home movies, immerses the audience in an esoteric, vintage world, delivering a poignant visual counterpart to the band’s exploration.
