EP Review: Love Blast Lounge

Wellington based musician, songwriter, and producer Bravo Bonez has just released his latest lo-fi offering, reminiscent of old school lounge music which is ironic because the title of his five track EP is called Love Blast Lounge.

With the intention of spreading a message of “music, hope and love”, Bravo Bonez music is a mix of post-punk, ambient, shoegaze and perhaps dreampop. Love Blast Lounge certainly has a dreamy quality which floats along in a relaxing manner. Chill vibes with jazzy RnB elements.

Also described as “a retro lo-fi beats mash-up, this EP reminded me of the café culture which swept the country back in the mid-1990’s, the musical backdrop to caffeine connoisseurs in all the trendiest establishments sounded like this.

I found this instrumental delight a tranquil interlude in an otherwise hectic storm.
