Music Spotlight: Kelp Releases Intriguing Experimental Funk Song

In Kelp's new track "Apartment Overlooking A Dual Carriageway Outside Charleroi" heavily processed vocals, synths and a funky rhythm section create an interesting and unique sonic soundscape.



Kelp, from Belfast, describes their sound as a lounge act with a preoccupation for vocoders and additive synthesis, making cutting edge vapourware elevator-jingles. The act is fronted by a mysterious faceless character that they call "an inch high, ethereal deep sea diver". Combining experimental sounds with whimsical visuals such as this makes this artist very memorable.


The new track "Apartment Overlooking A Dual Carriageway Outside Charleroi" is Kelp's 14th release, an impressive feat for any artist! The song begins with the chimes of a bell synth that is quickly joined by a wobbling funk bass before the drums and added synth layers complete the sonic composition of the track. The vocal processing adds to the experimental sound of this piece, using a vocoder to create harmonies on every line. If you're a fan of bands like Daft Punk, this is a new artist you should definitely have on your radar.
