HAAi – The Sun Made For A Soft Landing
I like this song for so many different reasons and, as is my way, I shall tell you those reasons. I like the way that HAAi starts the records sans drums, just letting you luxuriate in those oscillating synths that only hint at a melody. I like the way that she delays that percussive gratification for a full ninety seconds and then welcomes it with the most threatening sub-bass imaginable. I like that when the breakbeat arrives, it sounds soaked in glycerine, smooth and sluggish like it’s beholden to viscous goop, moving with great effort.
Remember Dark Bells? Well they, and I quote, didn’t call it quits just drifted off into the sunset around seven years ago. In these years since we earned ourselves this project from Teneil, one third of Dark Bells and evidently a solo artist with an elevated sense of sound design. She’s been making DJing and producing under the name HAAi and doing so with with great success.
Here, this is for you.
