On Rotation: Olly Pitcher  "New Track"

The new track by Olly Pitcher has soundscapes with really deep, rich flavors of deep house and downtempo. More than anything else, this is not just a track but indeed an undeniably brilliant proof that he can balance technical skill with deep emotions. But coming as it does as his fifth release under his own label, Reckless Romantic Records, this single cements why he's considered one of the most innovative voices in electronic music today. Any fan of Four Tet, Moderat, or Bicep probably will be too.


New Track sucks you right in from the off with its ever-unraveling layers of sound. Intricate percussion that's organic in balance, precision, and organic feel well-balanced. It's the unexpected rhythms that get you hooked, though-subtle changes in interest that really develop as the track builds.


It's really just the bass line carrying this track: warm, immersive, anchoring the song while lighter, airier stuff can just float atop with ease. As the track builds up, it's through the subtle transformations in the bass line that you're taken through ebbs and flows of tension and release. Earthy, steady beats versus expansive textures make this track living and dynamic.


Of course, with Pitcher using synths, this takes on a whole new level: atmospheric pads, lush textures falling into space and introspection. Moving with flawless ease between tinges of nostalgia and quiet optimism, there is this sense of perfect symmetry between light and dark, and the hopefulness and melancholy that make the song emotionally reach out to its listener.


But what really sets New Track apart, however, are those organic touches: whistle-like melodies that reach and reverberate almost like voices, bird calls, or flutes. It's this organic touch that lends the electronics an almost palpably tropical weight, weighing them in the real and the living. In fact, it's such small yet critical details as this that at last make this track emotionally impactful.


The new Track once again has us in the know as to why Olly Pitcher stands out in the world of electronic music. It bends the genre in a way that's innovative but accessible. Intricate rhythms, rich synth layers, and organic details come together for an experience that can be felt even after the music fades. New Track is an innovative, deeply emotional, and amazingly well-crafted listen if there ever was one. On a meteoric rise and out to change the face of electronic music, the future is bright ahead for Olly Pitcher.
