Smurgy – ABSOLUTE

After carving out a distinct presence in Aotearoa's sonic underground over the last few years with his solo work, collaborative production work, and work as one half of left-field electronic duo boyracer with Nima Astria, Tāmaki Makaurau-based, Ōtautahi-raised producer and experimental electronic-pop artist Smurgy has shared his long-awaited debut album, ABSOLUTE. 

Entirely produced by Smurgy, the 9-track record is a collection of sparkling, effervescent electronic arrangements accompanied by otherworldly visual aesthetics. Intertwined with Smurgy's ethereal vocal delivery and melodic pop sensibilities, ABSOLUTE encompasses elements of trance, glitchcore, hyperpop, trap, synth-pop, and more, with contributions from close collaborators including rede., Nima Astria, TomRadio and more.
