Utopia by Eric Sublett

On Utopia:

Utopia arrived at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Recently furloughed from my job, I had a bunch of free time to focus on composition. I felt like I was still searching for my own voice in music at this point, and this became that origin.

The massive, larger-than-life ambient electronic derivative of my love of post-rock, the structures of jazz fusion and prog rock, the bass lines and drums beats of many niche subgenres of electronic & hip-hop, all came together with the nuclei of mood and sound still present in my music today.

It's an album that is rough around the edges and amateurish in some ways, but I think that's a great thing, it feels authentic and has character.

I will always remember Utopia as my origin, and the sunny summer fading youth I had the privilege of enjoying, drunk and often on the water in kayaks with friends, meeting the love of my life, through a really dark historic time.

Made with Korg budget synths and a Moog Grandmother
