The multi-talented Jörgen Barkefors, the creative force behind the band Self-taught Maniac and the instrumental sensation Imploding Minds, embarks on yet another solo endeavor. This time, under the moniker DeepSpace President, he graces us with a fresh single, ‘Ode to what is not.’
Barkefors' synthpop composition draws inspiration from a diverse range of artists, not limited to the synth genre. These include ABC, the Alan Parson Project, Vangelis, and Sweden's own Adolphson & Falk. Nonetheless, he retains his unique style, characterized by evocative rhythms, introspective lyrics, and a tidal wave of emotion.
Indulge in this auditory experience: sit back in your favorite chair, pour yourself a glass of wine, and close your eyes. Crank up the volume, immerse yourself in the music, and let your spirit take flight. Where it lands might be a place unfamiliar, yet enthralling.
