Following 2018's trippy Mind Palace EP, Brighton-based experimentalists Wax Machine are back with another winding slice of hazy psychedelia. Featuring soothing dual vocals from band leader Lau Ro and flautist Isobel Jones, 'Shade' explores the power of repetition using the line "I see again" as a starting point for a host of hypnotic elements to interact freely. Keeping the energy level chill AF influences from Spiritual Jazz, Krautrock, Tropicália and Library Music creep carefully through the track's thick, smoky vibe. Almost like walking soberly into a hotboxed room that's been burning incense for hours on end, 'Shade' will disorientate, relax and open your mind. Listen here now. -Holly Mulineaux
