Electronic Visions, the musical project led by Dutch artist Luc Poppink, has delivered a captivating journey with his latest album ”Forest Language,” released on October 11. Known for his skill in weaving nostalgic, ambient soundscapes, Poppink channels the soul of autumn into each track, inviting listeners into a world drenched in mood and memory. Crafted from his home studio and inspired by a particularly rainy summer in the Netherlands, ”Forest Language” embodies the wistful beauty of a season in transition.
The album’s sound is a carefully curated blend of downtempo, Synthwave, and Chillwave, drawing on influences from seminal artists like Boards of Canada, Moby, and Bonobo. Tracks like “Space Groove” and “Night Rain” showcase Poppink’s knack for merging rhythmic beats with ambient textures, creating an experience that is both soothing and introspective. Fans of Poppink’s previous releases on Eye Witness Records will recognize his signature style but will also find a new depth of feeling that speaks to his growing confidence as an artist. Each track feels like a walk through misty woods, with layers of melody and subtle beats mimicking the rustling leaves and distant echoes of nature.
A standout on the album, “Paths Ahead,” encapsulates the delicate balance of nostalgia and forward momentum, taking nearly four months to complete but rewarding listeners with its refined, emotive finish. Available on vinyl, ”Forest Language‘‘ promises not just an auditory journey but a tactile one, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the beauty of autumn, one groove at a time. Luc Poppink’s artistry shines through every note, making this a must-listen for fans of lush, atmospheric music.
