The Formalist, masters of the sonosphere invite listeners on an odyssey of introspection and self-discovery with their latest offering. This 10-track opus transcends mere music—it’s a voyage into the depths of consciousness, where each note serves as a beacon guiding us through the labyrinth of the human psyche.

Drawing inspiration from a rich tapestry of influences The Formalist crafts a landscape that blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination. From the ethereal echoes and foreboding of ‘(Sketch No. 4, 2020)’ to the gentle undulation of ‘No One to Blame’ each composition unfolds like a chapter in a novel, revealing new layers of meaning with every listen.

At the heart of the album lies the focus track, ‘In Slow Motion’. Its deep, dark and hypnotic baseline captures your attention immediately as the vocals serve as a portal to another dimension, where time slows to a crawl and memories dance before our eyes. With meticulous attention to detail and masterful execution, ‘A Trace of Yourself’ is a catalyst for transformation, a conduit for introspection, and a testament to the boundless power of art. With each listen, we peel back another layer of the human experience, unraveling the mysteries of existence and how we perceive this life one note at a time.
