With his latest offering ‘Tides‘, multi-instrumentalist Catching Flies aka George King turns his gaze inward for a journey of melodic introspection.
Effortlessly fusing electronic production with organic instrumentation, he crafts a sound both familiar and inventively his own. Warm instrumentation and sound design entwine with glitchy beats and bass in peaceful harmony.
There is a serenity at the heart of this music, accepting of life’s inevitable ebbs and flows. Crescendos crest and dissolve like waves breaking gently on the shore, King’s feather-light falsetto rising above.
The production is meticulous but unobtrusive, each element crystallising into a greater whole. The arrangement breathes with space and patience – this is an artist entirely assured of his vision.
