about

Spectoral's official adaptation of the Boards Of Canada classic explores disenchantment with the world today, and his desire to get away from it all. This is a car-cruise-at-sunset slow burner that perfectly defines Spectoral's unique blend of textured downtempo production against his trademark sultry, future-soul vocals.

'Open The Light' will be one of the singles appearing on Spectoral's sophomore five-track EP a little later this year.

lyrics

Let them all drown
Like a valley to an estuary
Let their cities fall
Don't put that shit on me
Cold around us
Like a tundra to the rain
The world is coming down
And we will never be
We'll never be the same

Come away let me look in your eyes
I'd never let you go
Take the wheel set off into the night
And they would never know
Under shade but you open the light
A scene you can't believe
On a drive take a look outside
There's no one else
So let's just disappear with me

And tell me how you really feel inside
I know you're unsatisfied
Beside the high
Of you and I
Met the open road
As we head to higher ground
Forget your old life
And I guarantee
I guarantee a dream

Come away let me look in your eyes
I'd never let you go
Take the wheel set off into the night
And they would never know
Under shade but you open the light
A scene you can't believe
On a drive take a look outside
There's no one else
So let's just disappear (with me...)

Cherry skies dilate in your eyes (Out there...)
I'd never let you go (We're human set us free...)
Take an eight, lay it onto the side (Out there...)
And see how far we go (The world's just a scene of debris, to me)
Under shade but you open the light (Out there...)
A scene you can't believe (We're human set us free...)
On a drive take a trip outside (Out there...)
There's no one else
So let's just disapp—

about

SPECTORAL image

SPECTORAL Australia

Spectoral nimbly weaves their subversive electronic sound design with ultramodern hip-hop and pioneering alternative R&B, pushing the boundary of pop to the cutting-edge.

Dave Ruby Howe, Music Director of Triple J Home & Hosed, describes Spectoral as an artist who "can be relied on to deliver highly detailed productions with unshakable earworm qualities at their core". ... more
