be still - Stereofox Label

“We aspired to create a project that was abstract, yet grounded in our experiences and feelings of the time. The album could be read as a collaborative emotional time capsule. ‘be still’ appeals to the simplicity of beat-making while employing jazzier harmonies and wistful melodies. During the recording process, we often mixed and layered a variety of sampled and recorded percussion sounds. This included bongos, claves, cymbals and just about any sound maker we could get our hands on.”

THE RELEASE

Release Schedule: May 4th, 2022
Genres: Lofi

An overseas collaboration that resulted in beautiful and organic instrumentation. The title “be still” is intentionally interpretive and abstract. For Lofty & jaackson personally, it’s been an outlet for stress and a coping method for the anxiety of time slipping away. Even though life can be hectic, it’s important to take a step back at times and appreciate its beauty.

Like the breath of spring-like winds, this blissful album is full of interesting variations and modulations that immerse the listener with a wide range of colorful compositions. The perfect stress relief for listeners seeking a remedy for anxiety and uneasiness.
