Song Recommendation: “Blue Noa” by Voices from the Lake (2025)

Voices from the Lake is made up of producers Neel and Donato Dozzy. Sharp-eyed readers will remember I thought Dozzy’s Magda was one of the best albums of 2024 so it’s not surprising for me to recommend this new collaboration, but it’s also not a record I can let just pass by without comment because it’s that good! Neel perhaps brings a bit more “pop” sensibility (only in the loosest sense of that word) so most of the tracks are a digestible 5 minutes or less and the relentless repetition that was deployed on Magma here seems less intended for purposes of psychedelic meditation and instead as the propulsive engine for a percolating and ever-evolving soundscape.
