Natural Wonder Beauty Concept – S.T.
Futuristic electronic pop of the highest order, Natural Wonder Beauty Concept, a new project from Ana Roxanne and DJ Python (Brian Piñeyro), draws from a shared love of melancholic indie songs and nostalgic ’90s staples including Björk’s Telegram remix album, Portishead, Seefeel, and Boards Of Canada. Roxanne’s vocals sound as angelic as ever floating over sampled pianos, digi-harp, IDM drums, breakbeats, and chill-out room soundscapes while Piñeyro offers up his own voice for the first time on choice moments. The duo’s lyrics touch on generational sentiments: “feeling too much and feeling nothing at all” / “I always mumble what I’m saying” / “Why’s it feeling so impossible, impossible?” A fully enveloping listen, we recommend giving this one some time and multiple full playbacks. “Let’s beauty happen.”
