David moved from his native California to the Catalan capital Barcelona at 23 years old. During his time there, Read has released two EPs, opened for Christian Loeffler, and played the Barcelona party circuit. Now, the multi-instrumentalist, singer, and producer is releasing his latest work. In That Blue boasts influences from Thom Yorke to Jon Hokpins to James Blake. It is an electronic offering brimming with soul and story. The new tracks range from electronic ballads to dancefloor bangers, all showcasing his trademark vocals. In That Blue contemplates the end of a long relationship. Across the EP’s four songs, we find references to the idea of being caught between seemingly incompatible truths. One one hand, something extremely unhealthy. On the other hand, incredible growth and loyal friendship. In That Blue holds them both up as actual. Lead single Cormac has the author Cormac McCarthy as its namesake. The writer's sparse prose and unparalleled ability to communicate beauty and carnage were direct inspirations for the song. Its vocal centerpiece portrays an image of a mountain in flames - the forest animals escaping down the mountainside as their fur smokes. The instrumentation is minimal and the payoff is massive. A single synth, pad, drums, and vocals rise to a soaring vocal line, dropping back to the earth to do the whole thing all over again.
