Genre/Influences:
Dance-pop.
Format:
Digital.
Background/Info:
Eric
Shans is now active for more than twenty years. I got the opportunity to
discover most of his latest releases under the Phenotract moniker, the last
album going back to 2016 (cf. “It’s All We Feel Every Day”).
Content:
“Tides”
reveals 3 new songs by the American artist. Phenotract is mixing danceable
vibes together with electro-pop music. The kicks and hi-hats are very
danceable-like while the music has something wafting. The vocals have been
produced a shimmering way.

I like the dreamy and somewhat crystalline approach of Phenotract. It
sounds danceable, but not cheap! The wafting sensation has something evasive
and relaxing.

I’ve already heard most convincing work from Phenotract. I can’t say
there’s a real highlight or title song featured here. It moves nicely around,
but without climax.
Conclusion:
If
you’re not into classical electro-pop music and pure ambient work is not your
cup of tea, Phenotract brings you a danceable and easy-listening alternative
mixing both genres together.
