CKTRL – LOVE + WAR (FEAT. OPHIE)
2022-10-17From the heartbreak that defined his previous EP robyn, cktrl elevates above it with the more hopeful, intimate, and serenading tracks on zero. Exploring love as freely and naturally as possible, zero finds its catharsis in blossoming, rippling layers of organic instrumentation merging with subtle electronic textures. ‘mazes’ with harpist Ahya Simone opens to a sweet earthen symphony of faintly fluttering pianos and full, brassy saxophone. Stuttering beats drift smokily around the title track, with effortlessly cascading guitar plucks matching Mereba’s velvety vocal harmonies.
