“FLY AWAY” IS THE LEAD SINGLE FROM BASS PHYSICS’ FORTHCOMING DEBUT LP, LOST IN SPACE, OUT THURSDAY, JANUARY 11
"'FLY AWAY,' the first single off my new album, is one of my favorite songs in the collection. Lately, I've been sensing a collective phenomenon of people who are feeling trapped inside forces outside of their control, maybe even in their own minds. This song is for anyone who sometimes feels like all they want to do is fly away from reality. I think the way the sound of this track encapsulates the yearning of someone who just wants to feel free. It features some of my favorite production yet, and CASS absolutely crushed the vocals." - Bass Physics
Bass music has the power to transport listeners to other worlds, and this is especially true of the sounds from Denver-based producer/multi-instrumentalist Bass Physics. Having gained a fervent audience who are enamored by his sparkly, hard-hitting bass aesthetics and live set - a vibrant performance style that sees him oscillate between electronic hardware, piano, and guitar - Bass Physics has cultivated a distinct sonic and visual language that gives fans a reprieve from their earthly struggles.
His creative sensibilities have led to performance slots at some of Denver’s most storied music institutions, including Red Rocks (5x), Decadence (3x), and a sold-out show at Bluebird Theatre - not to mention three performances at Cancun’s electronic music destination event Ember Shores. This year, he also remixed the Illenium, Grabbitz, and Wooli collaboration “You Were Right.”
Now, Bass Physics is revving up towards his debut album, Lost In Space, a full-length project that promises to deliver a collection of cinematic, mind-melding soundscapes. Filled to the brim with melodic compositions, immersive sound design, and, of course, otherworldly bass production, Lost In Space will be a holistic artist statement - a reflection of Bass Physics’ creative identity and a time capsule of his evolution up until this point.
Today, fans get their first taste of Lost In Space with melodic bass banger “FLY AWAY,” the LP’s lead single. A collaboration with vocalist CASS, “FLY AWAY” blends heart-thumping bass, angelic vocals, and intricate production flourishes all wrapped in a lush, extraterrestrial presentation.
“FLY AWAY” kicks off with an ascending, euphoric synth chord progression before bringing in CASS’s verse over a thumping, propulsive drum rhythm. The track then builds with CASS’s lyrics alluding to escaping reality before transitioning into an earth-shattering central section - a monumental drop that combines blazing bass design with trunk-rattling, trap-influenced drums for maximum catharsis.
The track then eases into its second verse before building once again with theme-appropriate lyrics. “And I’m not trying to be selfish, I’m just tired of being trapped in my mind,” CASS sings as the track enters its second drop, an incendiary section that compounds its impact through mind-altering glitches and even more layers of distorted bass tones.
Grand in scope and replete with epic, euphoric sonic choices, “FLY AWAY” is a perfect tone setter for Bass Physics’ ensuing album rollout - and an acute prediction of the sorts of ambitious, monumental tracks the LP will contain.
Fans can catch Bass Physics play out “FLY AWAY” at his upcoming Ember Shores performance in December.
