Blue Sinclair has released his debut project, a new album titled When the Disco Ball Crashed Down, the full length release is available right now.
The album was self recorded by Sinclair. Mixing and mastering were handled by Furkan Gülüs, who worked across the full record. Sinclair's aim with this album was to bring everything to a consistent level while keeping the process as simple and practical as possible.
Artwork and promotional images for the album were created with photographer Michael Benabib. The album cover takes inspiration from Marianne Faithfull’s Broken English. That influence sets the tone for how the record presents itself, something that adds an extra dimension to the album.
There is no single storyline running through the record, from a lyrical perspective, Blue Sinclair deals with the everyday instead of big, sweeping concepts. With the songs touching on themes from nights out to consumer habits people will definitely be able to identify with the record.
The opening track, Midnight, Briefly, focuses on a missed encounter. Introducing the album's approach early on with opener Midnight, Briefly which focusses on a missed encounter. Other tracks across the album take a similar route, concentrating more on the specifics of the moment instead of looking for conclusions.
Sinclair has described this release as his most open work so far, which may have been helped by being the first album where he handled the recording entirely on his own. Over time, he has said that his connection to the record has grown rather than faded. Which is good to hear as it is a great album and something that I'd anticipate many people really getting into.
