Blackbird Blackbird is the moniker of San Franciscobased wünderkind Mikey Maramag. His unique style of dreamy folktronica recalls influences from all ends of the musical spectrum; deeply textured, hypnotic songs pay homage to psychedelic pop the likes of Caribou and Washed Out, while the warmth of analogue instrumentation spliced with digital artifacts hints at contemporaries James Blake, Four Tet and Mount Kimbie. Anthemic, dream-driven themes inspire Blackbird Blackbird's work, where layers of electronic texture drape over organic sounds and ghostly vocals. Within elongated song structures, Blackbird Blackbird harnesses thematic elements of dynamism and composition to create depth and complexity, while never losing sight of his pop sensibilities. Featuring remixes from bass music virtuoso Grenier (aka DJ G) and Atlanta’s foremost proprietor of rave music, Distal, Boracay Planet is sure to sate his dedicated followers while garnering new fans from all walks of life. “Serendipitous and light-hearted, evoking visions of island life and tropical splendour” – Earmilk “Our latest favorite when craving something indie-electro-dancebeachy.
