The magical sounds of Soek return with a new offering, a single titled “We Were Taller Then” with a minimalistic and ethereal flourish. A portal back in time opens up, showing the simpler times of childhood where we felt so much more invincible and problems only consisted of scraped knees and denied excess sweets. In all other ways, we stood taller then.
ORDER “WE WERE TALLER THEN” ON BANDCAMP NOW!
A tender spiral of piano melodies surrounds us to form a caressing atmosphere of happiness and endless possibilities. Wrapped in warm nostalgia, the song dives deeper into the picture album of childhood joys, strings adding emphasis on the magic and imagination that led our lives then. It was the time of innocence.
“We Were Taller Then” holds serenity in its crystal clear sound, and mixes in the feelings of longing and melancholy from the present time. Those memories of pure happiness and carefree life under the protective care of beloved family members remain dear for many of us. Or the inventiveness, or the considerably different worldview as approached by the mind of a child. You could be a tiny god with a tall posture inventing your own world, alone or with friends.
Soek, aka solo artist Grant Borland, took a journey back into childhood with a seemingly simple, yet emotionally impactful whirlwind of piano and strings, proving that he can evoke a thousand emotions with just a few tools.
With influences from Olafur Arnalds and Mac Richter, the composer uses classical elements mixed with a touch of electronica to bring forth powerful and authentic works of art.
