What I love about Catching Flies' rendition of "Shark Island" is how it showcases his versatility as a producer, venturing into territory that feels distinctly different from his usual sound.
Seeing these artists next to each other feels like a long-time coming, especially given their affinity towards organic embellishments over electronic textures. On "Shark Island" however, Catching Flies has veered towards melodic house, yet in a manner that sounds quite earthy thanks to the live-sounding drums and the uplifting choir section. The dramatic synths that swell across the mix certainly complement these immersive voices and offer the track a cinematic quality that seamlessly snatches your attention and holds onto it firmly.
