There's something fitting about the name "Floatist", as his latest collaboration with Henny Herz, "YRU", invites us into a soundscape that feels light, dreamy, and effortlessly immersive.
Floatist is a project started by folk singer-songwriter Henny Herz and drummer, and producer Nicholas Stampf. Together, they offer a sonic space where folk music and ambient textures intertwine to make you feel like you're suspended in the air. Their latest release, "YRU" welcomes us to this exact sensation thanks to the airy vocal performance and delicate guitar arrangements that seamlessly provide a sense of warmth. When it comes to the songwriting, Henny reflects on the way humanity treats its surroundings by telling the story of narwhals. Her words hang over such a hazy, relaxing instrumental that encourages tranquility.
