Effortlessly glide into the weekend with a mellow positivity, via !Noj‘s new track “smoky quartz.” Based in the village of Grindelwald, Switzerland, !Noj creates a meditative allure throughout the track, which is the first half of a 2-track EP, gems.
A wintry smattering of piano floats into a grooving rhythmic accompaniment; the warming bass line and gentle percussion evoke the escapism of a lounge-type setting. The piano flourishes remain vibrant amidst the patient, measured rhythms. The melody assumes a more contemplative quality in the final 30 seconds, before settling into finality with a gentle key-laden precision. “smoky quartz” is an enchanting, atmospheric success from !Noj.
