Phoenix-based dream-electronic artist FLDPLN<\/strong><\/a> presents ‘Aliso’<\/strong><\/a>, the second single from his forthcoming ‘Escalator’<\/strong><\/a> album, loaded with electronic-based dreampop that is deeply influenced by 80s pop with shoegaze-like textures and ambient aesthetic, created by layered saxophones and synths. Succulent sonic chill-pill layers combine in reverie on this latest single (and the one preceding), bringing to mind such artists as Slowdive, Bowery Electric, Tycho, South Pacific and Bonobo. So let’s get into this project now, shall we? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FLDPLN (\u201cfield-plan\u201d) is the solo moniker of Andrew Saks<\/strong>, best known as frontman of Californian shoegaze stalwarts Sway<\/a><\/strong>. An electronic dream-gaze project, FLDPLN is an outlet for blissful and texture-based songs with ample synthesizers, vocals and layered saxophones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This and the title track ‘Escalator’<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0are sweet tasters of the long-player, scheduled for release on July 30. It will be available both digitally and on color vinyl via the label\u00a0Sillas Famosas.<\/strong>\u00a0Capturing blissful feelings, Saks shares them with high spirits and a sense of nostalgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Escalator’ was written, produced, recorded and mixed by Andrew Saks at his home studio in Phoenix, Arizona. This follows up his 2018 album ‘Let You Down’ <\/strong><\/a>and his 2021 single ‘Cashout’<\/strong><\/a>, released in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEscalator is really the result of my years of dabbling in electronic music production combined with my desire to reconnect with my roots, having been a saxophone player for most of my life,” says Andrew Saks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For this album, I wanted to write songs that are true to the way I hear things in my head, dreamy, blurry, beautiful without compromise and incorporate the horn as a textural instrument as well as another melodic voice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
