Búsqueda by Erre Ye

An 18 month long project born out of the pandemic, Búsqueda was initially an exercise in spontaneity as Erre Ye attempted to break out of a long creative block, trying new techniques and processes. The result is a science-fiction inspired, extraterrestrial journey through darker sounds, brimming with unusual textures and exhilirating twists and turns.

Deep, meditative opener Ilusión Temporal sets the tone for this textural, introspective record. Next up, ‘Ahogo’ is a spaced-out electro work-out with dreamy synths soaring over crushing kicks. Next up the brooding club track ‘El Camino’, portrays a melancholic journey through darker territory. Exploring deconstructed club and IDM is off-kilter body moving track ‘Conocer’. ‘Aparecí’ blends noise and industrial elements with ambient leading into ‘Viaje Al Interior’ - the most stripped-back and lightest track on the record - it’s a shimmering blend of IDM and ambient, paving the way for tonal closer ‘El Próximo Encuentro’. Glassy chimes meet experimental percussives on this glistening last track. Upping the tempo into a frenetic work-out before coming back to ground, here Erre Ye flexes his most experimental hand yet.
