The hotly-awaited sophomore EP on Big Cargo Records from an enigmatic sound-traveller, Niven has long been diligently bubbling away at the very centre of East London’s thriving underground electronic music community and now he’s making his musical mark.
As the co-founder of the Dalston club SPHERE, Tom Niven sits right at the heart of London’s experimental electronic community and with Niven his is a world of careful, enchanted sonic experimentation; bringing together ambient synths, organic bass thumps and graceful glitches, with his own well-placed vocals softly whispering crucial yet subtle emotional overtones.
The result evokes the jostle, push and wonder of everyday human life from the inside of a head that daydreams of alien encounters and faraway planets, all wrapped up in a empathic warmth that says “we’re all stuck on the same ride”.
