premiere: Teen Daze – Hidden Worlds

Canadian electronic pop artist Jamison Isaak aka Teen Daze gently and effectively nudges us out of this winter malaise that's just starting to set in, allowing us to escape for about 5 minutes on a balmy, late-night topdown drive through the Balearics with his dreamy new single. Mixed by the great Joel Ford (Ford & Lopatin, Oneohtrix Point Never, Young Ejecta), the transportive and hypnotic "Hidden Worlds" is officially out tomorrow on Jamison's own label FLORA, but you can listen now + read about the trip that inspired the track below:

"In April of this year, my wife and I celebrated our five-year anniversary by spending five weeks travelling throughout Spain and Portugal. Throughout the trip, as I tend to do when we travel, I took lots of field recordings along the way. Hidden Worlds is the sound of me trying to blend some of those recordings with the melodies and rhythms that feel connected to the places we visited. When I hear it, I can still picture the mountainside drives we did on Mallorca; hopefully it can also transport the listener to another place."
