Opium by Forma Oblaka

Forma Oblaka (Russian for ‘cloud shape’) is a moniker of a Moscow-based producer and songwriter Nastya Akopova.

Nastya’s craving for making music and verses revealed itself in her childhood and many of her tracks are based on childhood impressions. The musician’s creativity is not limited to song structures and does not stick to particular genres. Thus, in her alternative project named Lunatubique, Nastya realizes more abstract ideas, which results in bizarre dance electronica.

Forma Oblaka’s music is strongly intuitive and spontaneous, it is experimental and deliberately simple at the same time. Inspired by ambient, outsider house and techno, Nastya combines lo-fi beats, meditative melodies and fragile vocals.

The narrator of the album Opium relates to subtle feelings and weird connections. Mysticism passing through everyday life, tenderness unable to find its way out, «sweet sadness» which is so easy to get poisoned by – the narrator feels a little uneasy but she seems to enjoy it and is not about to stop. This is what Opium is.

Forma Oblaka’s music envelopes with cold and makes one plunge into thought. But anyway it gives the listener a choice – to get high on melancholy or seek different kinds of pleasure.
