Electronic music has a new rising star. Producer and musician Kerala continues to turn heads and captivate hearts with his signature brand of beautiful electronic music. Inching closer to the release of his debut EP, the Denver-native returns with “What If” feat. Marie Lang. Kerala is Colorado-based producer Jordan Evanoff’s first solo endeavor. After years of touring with jamtronica/electronic rock band Evanoff, Evanoff has branched off to explore different avenues of sound design. His new sound is an uplifting cinematic indie-electronic experience, most closely aligned with the electronic pop & future bass genres, taking inspiration from pioneers such as Kasbo, Odesza and Forester. With production emulating a fluttering heartbeat, the lyrics in “What If” express a deep desire for another person’s love and trust while simultaneously revealing a growing anxiety that those feelings might not be returned. As it pertains to the Escapism story arc, Kerala’s newest single establishes the dilemma of our protagonist, setting the listener on a journey driven by musical motifs and thematic elements that flow throughout the entire EP. It’s a proper love song that can equally perform the duty of breakup soundtrack or empowering ballad. Escapism will be out August 4th as a self-release.

KERALA - DIFFERENT LIGHT
Music, Original MixCommentKerala is Colorado-based producer Jordan Evanoff’s first solo endeavor and "Different Light" is the lead single from his forthcoming debut Escapism EP. After years of touring with jamtronica/electronic rock band Evanoff, Evanoff has branched off to explore different avenues of sound design. The project’s mission is to provide euphoric and uplifting experiences through music, break down cultural boundaries, and explore the world in order to gain a better understanding of humanity. Evanoff travels to and immerses himself in unique places, writing songs while attempting to manifest those experiences into sound. The first Kerala tunes were written when he was staying in a small jungle village in Costa Rica, which is also where the project was conceptualized. Since then, due to quarantine, his upcoming Escapism EP was written while exploring the Colorado mountains.
