Ben Böhmer Breathing album in depth
Breathing kicks off slowly with In Memoriam; the track features cinematic and long melodic lines with ambient beats and a magical top plucked melody. The feeling is to be in the middle of a forest, surrounded by nature. Moving on with the album title features a more intimate and deep beat; the angelic vocal flows through the record creating a pleasant feeling of inner peace.
Ben Böhmer album features top quality artists too; this is the case of Monolink and Black Hole. Surely another incredible deep beat but with a softer and more melodic top theme that keeps the track into a limbo between the drop and a breakdown.
Wall of Strings goes really underground with its darker beat and the raw baseline. The incredible melodic arpeggio perfectly blends with the industrial beat creating a unique musical feeling. Hunting completely breaks the links from the previous tune, with a softer theme and pop-inspired vocals and melodic lines.
Again, Ben Böhmer Breathing is a rollercoaster of sounds as Maelstrom again changes the course of the music. With its hypnotizing beat and cinematic lines, the track creates an excellent bridge with Voyager 1. The track features futuristic-aline inspired sounds with, again, cinematic and large-scale themes.
Decade rapidly starts with a deep plucked baseline and a clean and minimal beat to increase its energy on the second park thanks to Jan Blomqvist vocal. Lost in Mind brings back the album vibes of the beginning featuring Malou’s angelic vocal.
Cloud 21 starts the slow descent that reaches Little Lights closing this incredible album.
Breathing, the first striking single lifted off his debut album of the same name, has clocked over 1 million streams since release, and has won support from the likes of Joris Voorn, Paul Kalkbrenner and Lane 8. Second single Black Hole has seen similar success, accruing 400K streams in 3 weeks and garnering support from Wankelmut, Martin Roth, and Gorgon City.
