Iridescent by Elleodin

Upon listening to Elleodin’s debut EP “Iridescent”, one can almost see the colours and imagine the smells of the dreamscapes she has created. Largely fuelled by her sound-colour synesthesia, each track has a unique atmosphere saturated in floaty synths and organic instruments. Accompanied by instances of her vocals, bass guitar and recordings, and through various techniques and experimentation, the result is five tracks that wildly differentiate from each other and yet fit beautifully together.

For “Iridescent”, Elleodin has combined various corners of the electronic music scene, with clear influences which mostly stem from the downtempo music scene, but also venture into the realms of lo-fi and shoegaze. The sound-heavy quality which largely characterises the EP could even be said to be similar to that of witch house, but perhaps with an organic, rather than an industrial, finish. Peaceful yet powerful, with moments of intimacy and fantasy alike, if you’re looking for an escape, “Iridescent” is one that’s not to be missed.

Working under the pseudonym Elleodin, Lara Mason is a British electronic music producer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist. Dream-like and full of vibrant experimental sounds, Elleodin’s latest work explores subjects such as liminality, boundaries and magical realism, reaching for the fabric of experience and (be)longing - of places real and imagined.
