Featured Song: xander – loveinacoffeeshop.
Xander and his tunes never seem to have a dull moment – every one of his efforts is crafted with a level of finesse that is truly rare, and “loveinacoffeeshop” is no exception. Starting off with a range of killer samples, this 3 and a half minute beauty is a whirlwind of surprises.
As the track eases into its central melody, xander shows off his technicality, adding a unique percussion line with synth blips and crackles to the already eclectic atmosphere. Every build-up is a stunning array of sounds that comes together over a satisfying bassline. Xander succeeds with grandeur at capturing the aesthetic of a coffee shop, with all its machine clicks, warm shakes, and city overtones that leave a person feeling warm inside.
The ending of “loveinacoffeeshop” is subtle and elegant; a beautiful sample of conversations, perhaps over a morning scone, laced with the last few keys of the melody. Its simplicity leaves a lasting impression that is sure to brew up a good day. Grab a free download of the track here.
