Yet few artists can empathize with : :' ': ,: that sentiment quite like the California indie rock project :, : Waterstrider, whose Way Out EP arrives : :' ': ,: on the heels of a series of dramatic setbacks and disasters. :, : Before writing the EP, front man Nate : :' ': ,: Salman saw his home of Santa Barbara ravaged by fire and flood, :, : had an infection in his heart that : :' ': ,: landed him in the ER, went through a painful breakup, and was :, : even bitten by a potentially rabid bat. : :' ': ,: ôWhen things hit hard, they hit really hard,ö said Salman. Yet :, : instead of being defeated, he took those : :' ': ,: experiences in stride, incorporating them into this dazzling and :, : complex series of songs, which : :' ': ,: radiate hope and catharsis in equal measure. :, : : :' ôTime to reset / time to reclaim a way out,ö he sings in the ': ,: title track, an intention that extends to the :, : : :' stylings of the music itself: while WaterstriderÆs debut LP ': ,: Nowhere Now (2016) and the :, : : :' Constellation EP (2011) were packed with exuberant polyrhythms ': ,: and angular guitar figures :, : : :' alongside SalmanÆs soaring falsetto, Way Out invites listeners ': ,: into shadowy soundscapes, permeated :, : : :' with rushes of sleek synths and kinetic percussion, that sync ': ,: perfectly with its open-ended narratives. :, : : :' While Salman demoed these five songs by himself, he completed ': ,: them in collaboration with the :, : : :' London-based duo St. Francis Hotel, who add a dose of space-age ': ,: gloss to the project. Largely :, : : :' eschewing the sunny guitar riffs of WaterstriderÆs earlier ': ,: work, tracks like ôWeaker Oneö and the EPÆs :, : : :' title track celebrate the lurching bounce of trip-hop, as well ': ,: as the vast minor-key soundscapes of :, : : :' Mount Kimbie. Echoing the sparse arrangements of Joni ': ,: MitchellÆs Hejira, closing track ôBreedö :, : : :' strips down Way OutÆs atmospheric touches, with Salman ': ,: beginning the song backed only by a :, : : :' humid keyboard figure. ': ,: :, : Throughout Way Out, Salman and his collaborators blend digital : :' and acoustic instrumentation to ': ,: :, : thrilling effect. ôI wanted Way Out to sound like a futuristic : :' relic,ö Salman explained. Nowhere is that ': ,: :, : more evident than on central track ôIn Circles,ö in which Salman : :' layers warm, pulsing synths with ': ,: :, : crunching drums and raspy veils of feedback into a disorienting : :' sonic stew that reflect the ': ,: :, : multifaceted emotions threaded through the project. : :' ': ,: Way Out considers a world renewed, and explores what it means to :, : be an individual when everything : :' ': ,: familiar has disappeared from your life. Way Out is a :, : manifestation of its own intentions; more than : :' ': ,: mere reflection, it finds Nate Salman tapping into a new vein of :, : his talent, with results that are as : :' ': ,: thrilling as they are unexpected. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
