Released today, “Overdrive” showcases the lush, hypnotic electronic-pop production of Ferdous. Aesthetically, the track recalls the likes of Junior Boys and Toro y Moi, showing a relaxed vibe that steadily evolves with memorable melodic and atmospheric growth. The vocals are cool and gripping throughout, especially during the lush bridge as the two-minute mark approaches. The “heart in overdrive,” hook is hypnotic and easy to enjoyably anticipate. “Overdrive” — released alongside with “Eventually” today — is easy to get lost in.
Ferdous is an Afghan-Dutch artist/songwriter/producer who releases music via his electronica alias TRACE7000 (Turbo Recordings) and works as writer and producer in pop duo Klyne.
