Blue Sinclair has recently released his debut album, When the Disco Ball Crashed Down, which is a record that bottles the confusion and thrill of your twenties in a strange new city. Across eight songs, the New York artist moves through longing, missed sparks, consumer fatigue, vanity, and late night self interrogation, landing somewhere between alternative pop and sleek electronic moods.

Entirely written and produced by Sinclair, the record feels intimate yet cinematic, with atmosphere doing as much work as melody. A Marianne Faithfull wink appears in the artwork, while Midnight, Briefly sets the tone with vivid storytelling. Mixed and mastered by Furkan Gülüs, the album’s honesty resonates strongly.
