As much as they’re spirit lifting fun, I’ve rarely had the chance to take in any festive parades. This includes my Golden State Warriors’ championship parades, since they always fall on weekdays when I have work. As such, I’m infinitely grateful that I don’t have to miss out on West Parade. You might recall the zeal we expressed when we featured the DIY bedroom synthpop project from West London a few months ago. Let’s all go for a sweet glide down the sound avenue with West Parade as he returns with Something In The Water, a glossy succulent, sexy grooving effusion of the artist’s funky bass and foggy synthpop. Its luscious retro-synths are soaked in warm nostalgia, while there’s an undeniable silky smooth panache to its glowing vocals, like Blood Orange gone Toro Y Moi. Listen to West Parade’s prior releases on Soundcloud, here.
