Melbourne DJ Moopie's latest compilation is a masterclass in moody experimental pop. The 2017 release "I Won't Have to Think About You" showcased the label A Colourful Storm at its best, pairing winsome indie pop with C86-esque charm. This year's sequel, "Going Back to Sleep", is just as enchanting, drawing on a diverse range of artists to create a cohesive and captivating listen.
From Sydney band Daily Toll's seven-minute melodica-and-guitar reverie "Time" to Chateau's percussive, psychedelic lounge pop on "How Long on the Platform", this compilation is a treasure trove of delicate and deeply felt sounds. Other highlights include Who Cares?'s equal parts Hope Sandoval and Eartheater-inspired "Wax and Wane", the Reds' indie stalwart sound, and San Francisco-based Pinks and Purples' sun-dappled folk-pop.
Going Back to Sleep is an unassuming compilation that's almost certain to become well-loved among connoisseurs of all things gentle and heartfelt. With its mix of ambient, drum'n'bass, and psychedelic elements, it's a testament to the label's commitment to showcasing unique and innovative talent.
