Todd Brozman, better known by his solo moniker Proud Creature, is releasing his first EP “Opening Creature” this month (on 16 March 2020). Proud Creature beautifully merges multiple genres like jazz, electronica, ambient and psychedelic in this five-track album, as he takes you on a journey of surrealism and otherworldly mystique. If you love listening to experimental ambient like Oneohtrix Point Never, Jon Hopkins and Future Sounds of London, no way should you miss this debut solo album from Proud Creature.
“Opening Creature” Tracklist
- Major Trouble
- Discovery of the Future
- The Rookery
- Pines
- Eastern Lines
The lead track “Major Trouble” is a solid combination of jazz and modern chillwave. The improvisational piano playing alongside syncopated beat gives a soothing effect to the track. The next two tracks “Discovery of the Future” and “The Rookery” seem to be of more experimental bent, while the last two “Pines” and “Eastern Lines” have dream pop vibe.
