Material Needs is an album that effortlessly bridges the gap between introspection and euphoria. Goose Down, the brainchild of producer Micah Smith, delivers nine tracks that showcase his unique ability to create grooves that are both understated and impactful.
Drawing on the soulful elements of Neatfreaks and the jazzy, vaporous palette of Mind Rinse, Material Needs is a melting pot of influences. The upbeat "Groundwork" kicks things off with infectious energy, while "Love Is" stands out as a highlight, blending French Touch sample chops with a lo-fi aesthetic. Tracks like "Innergy" and "See it All" pull listeners into a more contemplative space, with steady backbeats supporting hypnotic vocal elements.
Micah Smith’s knack for creating immersive sonic landscapes is undeniable. Released on January 14th, 2025, through Spatial Touch, Material Needs is set to be a staple for fans of innovative house music.
