Martin Denev is a musical globetrotter, touching down geographically in many locations and musically in many styles. Now based in Bali, Martin is known for his prolific output, with two albums and several EPs, as well as collaborative releases with Pete Herbert and Robert Owens. Martin continues to stretch out sonically with his side project Citronade and the new Eezeh EP.
With Citronade, Denev ventures confidently into lush downtempo electronica, filled with shiny synths, warm beats, and an easy pace. “Pink Honda” sets the tone as layers of shimmering pads and a swinging rhythm evoke wide open spaces and the sun in the rearview mirror. “Lazy Noon” lowers the step but increases the bass as synth flourishes and vocal sighs beam in from a ‘90s Ibiza lounge. “Hazeland” gets more cosmic with jazzy drums and muted guitar bursts, and “Eezeh Khom” feels like swimming under the moonlight. The reprise “Lazier Noon” closes the EP, and Martin Denev has ‘eezehly’ established Citronade as a brilliant addition to the chill-out spectrum.
