London-based producer NUTRI3NT enthralls with a fusing of electronic atmospherics and calming folk on new single “Cold Outside.” The release was actually written during a heatwave, with its recording taking place in the artist’s backyard. Nonetheless, wintry weather is certainly captured in the serene acoustics, solemn brass tones, and chilly vocals — emitting “it’s cold outside,” with a lush intrigue. “Sometimes you have no idea where the music comes from, and it surprises you,” NUTRI3NT explains. “‘Cold Outside’ is one of those tracks.”
“Cold Outside” represents a continued foray for the artist into the eclectic world of downtempo music, where everything from ambient electronica to vocal-laden folk can coexist and mingle with delightful entrancement. A stirringly emotive and soundscape-heavy production, “Cold Outside” dazzles in its eerily inviting ambient effects alongside the steady acoustics and repeating vocals. An assortment of vintage tape effects and reverb is utilized tactfully within, bolstering the twinkling keys, sturdy acoustics, and moody brass. “Cold Outside” is a lovely, immersive success from NUTRI3NT — ideal for watching the sun reflect across an icy, shimmering landscape.
