Hot on the heels of his rapturous single “I Can’t”, which marked the first release in the rollout of his forthcoming “Celeste” EP, progressive French producer Kasztan now shares the extended-player’s second offering “Moonriser”; a curiously meditative opus that proves worthy for both the at-home listening and live music spaces.
As its title suggests, the pensive cut lands on the day of the full moon and is available now across all streaming platforms.
“Moonriser” begins with an extended introduction that opens the door to the world of Kasztan’s sound palette. Delicate, emotive and evoking dreamlike visuals, Kasztan’s high-twinkling synths and atmospheric soundscapes set a surrealist narrative.
The ambient offering quickly takes a foreboding turn with the introduction of a gritty bass synth, and later, a choral-inspired soundscape. Tributing his post-rock roots, Kasztan completes the fantasia with a soft, arpeggiating guitar sequence.
A true embodiment of his craft, Kasztan delivers another unforgettable sonic experience with “Moonriser”; reflective of the colourful influences he’s been exposed to during his fruitful years in music.
