about

“We have also sound-houses, where we practice and demonstrate all sounds and their generation.” This quote, taken from Francis Bacon’s novel “New Atlantis”, published in 1627, was shared with us by Pete Kember, Sonic Boom, when we exchanged words about the remix
he did for us. “New Atlantis” is also the name of his studio in Sintra, Portugal, where he lives, and the title he gave to the remix.

We admire his work as an artist and a producer for a long time. We’ve been listening to Spacemen 3, Experimental Audio Research and Spectrum, bands he was part of, since we were teenagers. And there are records by Beach House, MGMT and Panda Bear, which he produced, in our collections. Last year, as Sonic Boom, he released one of our favorite albums of 2020.

Sonic Boom believes that there is a parallel line between synthesizers and plants. When he added his art to “Galaxies”, it felt like he was taking care of our garden. The outcome: the sound of two galaxies aligned with the universe.

“Galaxies” is taken from Norton’s most recent album, “Heavy Light”, released in July 2020. An album which is a pact on how to deal with the intimacy in the pop song. On building future memories. Without nostalgia or regrets. With sharing and love.

lyrics

You, I can’t make you fall
I won’t make you fall
Fall down on you

When it’s easy to believe then it’s hard to lose
But I may have a reason that you won’t forget

If you find a new way
We can start all over
Only if you know you’re right
If you find a new way
We can start all over
Something we have never tried
