"Scattered Ashes," the latest single from Berdmajik's upcoming debut, Spells, certainly feels as mystical as its name would imply. Awash in shimmering synths, hazy guitars, and otherworldly vocals, it's an irresistible psychedelic dreamscape.
The solo project of Donnie Felton, best known as one half of Grubby Little Hands, Berdmajik is a much more explicitly electronic outfit than his previous work. "Scattered Ashes" will be recognizable to fans of his other recordings, though, with its sunny melody and melancholy undertones, making it feel like a natural evolution of his songwriting style. And after two excellent tracks so far, we can't wait to hear how the rest of it comes together.
Spells is out May 19 on Golden Brown, and you can pre-order it here.
