Player Dave’s long-awaited sophomore single from his debut LP arrives with familiar warmth. A wicked cool collaboration between the California musician and rising bass aficionado FLY, “Boundless Perception” is an edgy, mellowed-out, electro-fusion treat. If you have been following the genius that is Player Dave for long, you can easily tell that this genre-defying track binds his old style a sound entirely new. Between a low hum of psychedelic bass, “Boundless Perception” offers smoke-soft synths and elegant vocal samples. Its dark and brooding aura is softened by digital plucks and morning birdsongs that blend effortlessly to synthesize the sounds and feelings of darkness and light. The last single ahead of his album Where The Wind Blew Me, “Boundless Perception” is a truly remarkable listening experience. Expect more from Player Dave later this month as he releases his life’s story via the emotionally rousing 11-track album.
