Gorgeous dream-pop track “Promises” is the latest from Everything by Electricity, the project of Siberian-born songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Yulia Bizyukova. The initial bass line exudes warm New Order-esque vibes, converging with graceful synth tones before the vocals’ emergence. From there, a dazzling synth-driven dream-pop sound — reminiscent of Chromatics — leads into a series of bursting melodic moments. The first, around 01:46, exudes a sweepingly harmonious feel that captivates. Similar moments appear throughout, book-ended by the atmospheric verses. “Promises” is a beauty of a track from Everything by Electricity, from recently released debut album Time Without Time.
This project first caught our ear back in 2013, and it’s exciting to hear their debut achieve such a standout sound.
