Deep Heads are thrilled to announce the return of Feverkin with his latest EP, 'Hollow Fire'. As an artist featured on both Volume 3 and 4 of the renowned Cosmic Vibration series, Feverkin has truly embraced and embodied the ethos of the label. With 'Hollow Fire', Fevekin brings together his unique take on various downtempo styles in perfect harmony with the vision of Deep Heads.
The second single off the "Hollow Fire" EP is the self-titled track "Hollow Fire'' - a mesmerising demonstration of Feverkin's take on sampling and hypnotic melodies weaved across multiple tones. The most uptempo of the EP, the energy of the song is propelled by crisp drum programming and pinpoint sampling. "Hollow Fire" showcases Feverkin's remarkable attention to detail in every layer of the instrumentation. Similar to his previous single 'Dead Branch', Feverkin incorporates live instruments into the mix, seamlessly blending them with ethereal pads, splicing in guitar and cello harmonics to form the heart of the tune.
Feverkin draws influences from the likes of Sorrow, Floating Points, Buena Vista Social Club, Martin Watkinson, Hidden Orchestra, Rachel Grimes, The Smile, Brown Bird, Bremer/McCoy, Bonobo & Ichiko Aoba to name a few that truly inspire him.
In his own words on ‘Hollow Fire’
“This song is the one that finished last of the bunch, as I couldn't get the chord progression to take shape. I eventually found a breakthrough in a resample/edit of a piano part I played from some nightly piano sketch log I've kept. I repurposed old ideas into new ones from demos that didn’t quite make the cut for previous projects, but they found a home on this track.
More on Feverkin…..A composer and producer residing in Portland, Oregon, Feverkin is the musical alias of Adam Orfale. Feverkin crafts his sound by sampling, morphing, and arranging recordings of traditional instruments. Drawing inspiration from trip-hop, garage, lofi, jazz, and classical music, Feverkin strikes a unique balance between melody and beat, resulting in instrumentally-driven downtempo music that is both organic, glitchy, and moody.
