Goose Down presents Material Needs [Spatial Touch]

Goose Down’s new album, Material Needs, is a rich tapestry of experimental house, soulful psychedelia, and jazz-infused grooves. Produced entirely by Micah Smith in his own studio, this nine-track journey follows the successful Neatfreaks EP, which earned praise from the likes of BBC Radio, NTS, and the global DJ community. Material Needs expands upon the foundation laid by his previous works, showcasing a more refined yet adventurous side of his musical personality.

The album opens with the vibrant "Groundwork," setting the tone for a danceable yet reflective experience. "Love Is" follows, effortlessly blending French Touch influences with a lo-fi warmth that feels both nostalgic and fresh. As the album progresses, Smith takes listeners through a series of mood shifts: "Innergy" and "See it All" offer deep, meditative grooves, while "Think Tank" injects a burst of urgency, bringing a sense of complexity to the album’s journey. The final track, Material Needs, closes the album with a soothing, organic quality that perfectly encapsulates the project’s themes.

Micah Smith’s attention to detail is evident throughout the album, from the carefully crafted beats to the ethereal vocal samples. Material Needs is an album that will captivate both casual listeners and dance floor enthusiasts alike, blending intricate production with accessible rhythms. Set for release on January 14th, 2025, via Spatial Touch, this is an album that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.
