If you're looking for the perfect soundtrack for a chillout session on a pristine beach or just a way to turn your day into a slowly cooked, lush groove, then Chaos In The CBD's debut album A Deeper Life is the remedy you need.
The whole album is absolutely wonderful, packed with great features and live instrumentation, and it employs elements of jazzy house music, lounge, jazz, soul, and r&b. The New Zealand-born, London-based brother duo offers a mind-easing experience in its purest form.
I love the title track because of its simplicity - it's one of those minimal things you can spin on a loop and just trip throughout the day. The whole album evokes a longing for their nature-rich youth, reflecting on the enchanting coastlines and verdant rainforests of New Zealand. "The title refers to our childhood, which was idyllic,” Ben elaborates. "It was just the sun, the sand, the sea, waterfalls, birds, and fish."
If you dig the 90s Ibiza slow-motion electronic sound that strikes the perfect balance between club-ready and deep, then that's where this record exists. The album drifts effortlessly from sun-soaked beach parties to pulsing club nights, finally settling into the hazy intimacy of the afterhours.
