WL//WH Premiere SULCI Bricolage
In the summer of 2023, Glasgow-based independent electronic imprint Bricolage Records welcomed fellow Glaswegian young producer Sulci into the label family with her debut, “Before The Echo”. Eighteen months later she returns with her sophomore effort, “Four Chambers”.
The evolution of Sulci is clear on this latest set of tracks. There’s a newfound maturity and musicality. The album pulls in a plethora of influences and uses them to provide us with some more dancefloor-friendly tracks, whilst keeping that distinct mellow vibe that Sulci has become known for. It’s quite the combination. Rippling and rolling funk melded into cozy ambience amid laid-back vocal experiments.
“Four Chambers” starts off on a serene plain before kicking through the gears as we go and a more open minded approach to production has allowed for the vibrant and colourful elements to bloom into full focus as the warm, shifting percussion falls around them. There’s also a celestial feel throughout as the ethereal vocals wax and wane among the numerous weaved melodies and pads.
The heady, atmospheric and emotive-ridden beat-driven excursion “Joy Meets Girl” takes the listener down an insightful, introspective erratic path, at first lilted by rolling sweet organic piano keys and shuffling rhythm patterns, washed in swelling deep pads, whilst edgy obsessive swirling resonances slowly build a shift into a bubbly, heart skipping interlude, fueled by tightly rattling percussions and heavy warbling bass lines, before glistening harp-like strings break the spell with sparkling comforting flurries, to disconnect back into the early soothing vibes.
Sulci‘s upcoming second album, “Four Chambers”, is scheduled for release, Digitally, on February 28, 2025, via Bricolage Label.
