Billion One here by way of Germany’s own Oldenburg might be lurking from the bushes but there is a good reason for this: he just released his new album Hi Cozy Paradise via Berlin’s Woodland Creatures! It forms part of their thematic cluster of records linked to one of Earth’s distinct bioregions and ecosystem types, with this album representing the Tropical & Subtropical Moist Broadleaf Forests (TSMF) selection, in case you were wondering. In terms of biodiversity a great match to Poule d’Or.
The album is being billed as a concept album and coming in at more than 80 minutes runtime it actually is quite the heavy weight. However, over the course of 14 tracks he opens up a movie-like journey across sounds and styles, creating a coherent soundscape that is easily digestible and wonderful to enjoy. Get in the passenger seat of this single engine aircraft and buckle up.
Attached below is Some Place I Keep Dreaming About – and it might just be a tropical or subtropical moist broadleaf forest which can be found in large, discontinuous patches centered on the equatorial belt, notably including the Southwest Amazon, the Congolese rainforests as well as relevant parts of the Borneo peat swamps.
You can also find this song – and many more – on the current iteration of the official Poule d’Or playlist, on Spotify and Apple Music.
