Poetics of a New Estate by Soli City

For fans of Schatterau, weed420, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, specifically the low-tempo electroacoustic moments off of Drukqs, and personal tragedy hiding within an ostensibly cheery crowded public space, Poetics of a New Estate by Soli City blends serene minimal arrangements with the messily maximalist environments of our contemporary world, capturing the constant conflict between our senses and our subconscious. Samples from pop songs, crowd chatter, passing traffic, mechanical clangs, and random noise intrude on our inner peace, building up obstacles to our calmly controlled, deeply harmonious internal monologues. When given the opportunity to flow unimpeded, these neoclassical performances convey a deep melancholic struggle inherent to the human experience, a dissatisfaction which we all keep tucked away in our daily public goings on. Does the busy environment save us from this sunken state? Does the external distraction prevent us from listening to these key internal messages? Either way, the tension rages on, resulting in a constant maladjustment and a lifetime of internal dissonance.
