There’s something quietly hypnotic about the way Vacant Shores craft their sound. With their latest outing ‘Wasted Breath’, the Bristol-based project sink further into their atmospheric world, one stitched together from shadowy textures, delicate rhythms, and vocals that drift in like thoughts just out of reach.
True to their trip-hop lineage, ‘Wasted Breath’ unfolds like a fluid and spacious lucid dream. The production hums with understated depth, mixing murky beats with gleaming melodic details that shimmer and recede like ripples on water.
While Vacant Shores have already carved out a distinct space for themselves, ‘Wasted Breath’ showcases a project that isn’t content to sit still. There’s evolution towards a deeper sense of control and confidence in the slow burn as it plays. Turn on and float away.
