Worcestershire producer INWARDS is pleased to reveal a stunning live performance video for his track ‘Feelings of Unreality’, which is out now on Small Pond Recordings. The new video comes ahead of the producer’s forthcoming November 2019 Live AV tour dates, with support at select shows from labelmates in experimental electronic duo Luo.
Filmed on a beautiful sunny day in Pershore, Worcestershire, where the experimental electronic producer resides in his log cabin, he set up his gear in the long grass to record this beautiful and atmospheric live play-through.
“This song is about a mental state, a window into feeling like you have lost your mind,” says the producer, aka Kristian Shelley. “There are some moments in life when you have a sudden change in perception and the world around you takes on a different form, like when a cloud moves in front of the sun and it changes the vibe. ‘Feelings of Unreality’ is about these moments where reality seems warped and far away.”
The song is the title track and latest single to be taken from his critically acclaimed new EP Feelings Of Unreality, also out now via Small Pond. Preceding the four-track release, both upfront cuts, ‘Dart’ and ‘Feelings Of Unreality’, gained high profile support including Dummy Mag, The Ransom Note, CLASH, Tom Ravenscroft (BBC 6Music), Gideon Coe (BBC 6Music), The Selector, and more.
An experimental music programmer and multi-instrumentalist from Worcestershire, Shelley draws influence from the far reaches of dance music. The peaceful rural environment of his log cabin home/studio plays host to a hive of activity, where electronic and acoustic instruments come together in a prolific stream of playful yet emotionally potent instrumental songs. For this producer, music has always fulfilled an urgent need to communicate where words fall short, and his instinctively composed tracks capture swift, potent snapshots of an inner world.
This new material builds on an exciting past year for the producer, who released his debut album, Diesel, in April 2018 to high praise from Electronic Sound magazine, The 405, TRAX mag and more. The record also hit big at radio with a BBC 6 Music Recommends Track of the Week, heavy support from Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1), a BBC Introducing live session, a guest mix for Tom Ravenscroft, and further widespread airplay across the BBC and beyond. Rounding things off in style, two tracks were highlighted in Steve Lamacq’s Best of 2018 selection.
