Bridgetown #96

Brahms
shimmer//suffocate

Secluded behind walls, windows, bars and blinds, Jovan Moran has finally emerged from solitude with a powerful follow-up to 2011's mysterious "Pressure" cassingle. Serving as a coping mechanism for serving time, "shimmer//suffocate" is a miniature concerto composed by and for inner anxiety. Minimalism is embraced, as rumbling organ drones uncomfortably slither underneath twinkling piano keys when hands aren't shaking too much to play them. Moran's genius lies in the simplicity of his compositions, carefully arranging these ten pieces so there is always space to breathe and maintain sanity, a rare luxury often taken for granted by the rest of us in our daily lives.
