about

Déjà Blue is stepping out music for a night yet unraveled. Liam Hindahl is peeling open the curtains at what it means to feel yourself move through the world. It's movement music, but does not fall into half baked tropes of dance friendly pop merely in order to touch on that feeling. Rather, Hindahl takes cues from cerebral dance luminaries such as Todd Terje, Yellow Magic Orchestra and Jaako Eino Kalvei as he stokes the embers of night time auras. On title track, "awake but see-through," questions arise about how communication and convenience corrupt the human spirit. "Losing time...Why ain't it all free," asks Hindahl? Not as a glassy eyed jammer, but as a yearning for us to eschew the simulation and get down with our bad selves. On the motorik-driven "shades of blue," the refrain of "I want to go back, I want to go back in time," feels as if Liam is jettisoning the space craft as he speaks, pleading time travel into existence. He wants to let the light in, but only as much as it allows us to find our next step on the dance floor.
