Kerala is Colorado-based producer Jordan Evanoff’s first solo endeavor. After years of touring with jamtronica/electronic rock band Evanoff, Evanoff has branched off to explore different avenues of sound design. His new sound is an uplifting cinematic indie-electronic experience, most closely aligned with the electronic pop & future bass genres, taking inspiration from pioneers such as Kasbo, Odesza and Forester.
“Different Light” reflects upon a completed journey, looking back on past memories and seeing things in a new way. It’s the existential realization that meaning comes from within, rather than your location or possessions. In the arc of Escapism, “Different Light” is the point in which the protagonist returns back from his travels to see his hometown, in a completely new light. He realizes that there was nothing wrong with his old life, except for his perspective, which in the end, is everything. He is ‘looking back on a different life’ and can ‘see it in a different light’. – Kerala
Gearing up towards his debut EP, emerging electronic pop & future bass producer Kerala returns with the fifth installment to his body of work. “Different Light” feat. Taylor Tuke is the first focus track from his upcoming Escapism EP. Heartfelt vocals, feathery textures, and intricate instrumentals tug at the heartstrings, fusing together for a creative and emotional experience. Kerala’s newest is a welcome addition to the “chill stadium” genre, music in which every climax seems to set the stage for the next climax to come. The intent is clear with Kerala and his style is distinctly his own, in a space that he feels comfortable and at most himself.
