Wellington based indie-electronic artist Neil MacLeod releases ‘Downwards’ a single from his highly anticipated EP ‘We Have Known Lost Days’ on 9th of September.

Described as ‘the James Blake of Pōneke’, MacLeod’s fresh and emotive sound brings soul and electronic genres together in ways designed to challenge audiences and disrupt preconceptions around what electronic music is.

MacLeod shares “writing and recording ‘We Have Known Lost Days’, I’ve tried to make a record that sonically and conceptually examines the darker aspects of our human nature, bringing genres together in challenging new ways.”

We Have Known Lost Days’, takes listeners on a journey through the darker side of human experience.

Through the duality of an electronic and acoustic sound that is fragile and bombastic MacLeod creates a sonic world that is bittersweet. Expertly manipulated vocals and the heavy use of distortion add to the dramatic and unique genre blurring sound.

MacLeod revels in moving audiences with his dark cinematic electronic music juxtaposed with intimate soul, he takes this to a whole new level with his new EP ‘We Have Known Lost Days’
