A collection of interviews, reviews, and playlists from the promotional campaign for “Permission to Feel”.
Interviews and Reviews
A written interview where I spell out some of my background and what I wanted to achieve with the album.
“Opening track “Chandra” immerses in its spacious, minimalist lushness — complemented steadily by beautifully lush acoustics, ruminating underneath. An effervescent swell begins to emerge in the second half, sending chills, and proving enjoyably representative of the tactful structural and tonal developments throughout Permission to Feel.”
In describing the track “Further Yet”: “With hisses embracing the melodic scope in order to add lo-fi notes to the sound, the music is like the sound of dawn, of sunlight highlighting the silhouette of the mountains on a not-so-distant horizon.”
“Colin Bragg’s meticulous attention to detail and his ability to draw inspiration from personal experiences make this album a standout in the realm of contemporary electronic and drone music.”
“We appreciate the alternance between the organic and the artificial, here co-existing in absolute harmony. Perhaps that’s Bragg’s true gift: writing a piece of music that never feels forced or overly synthetized. Instead, it flows freely and naturally, taking the listeners on a cryptic, intense and eye-opening sonic journey.”
““Permission to Feel” is not just an album; it’s a sound journey through emotions and innovation, inviting listeners to explore a world where music becomes a vehicle for introspection and expression.”
“…a poignant and reflective work that showcases Colin Bragg’s artistic versatility and depth.”
“As Colin navigates through these contemplative solo performances, listeners are invited into a cinematic world, reminiscent of legends in the experimental arena like Brian Eno or the atmospheric domains of Sigur Rós.”
“…a soundtrack worthy of a Hideo Kojima video game, full of symbiotic, natural and futuristic references.”
“It is an electronic release featuring ever-evolving arrangements, driving melodies and warm production.”
