Embodying the spirit that has imbued Apollo with a fresh lease of life since last years rebirth, Jack Lever AKA Bering Strait channels a wealth of electronic influence on his debut EP, applying his own natural sense of rhythm and production talent to create purposeful and emotive music.
The 21 year old producer from High Peak was brought to the labels attention by Synkro who he collaborates with under the Kiyoko pseudonym. As Bering Strait builds his own brand of organic and ethereal electronica from self recorded instrumentation and field recordings. Interpreting his dreams and observations of his rural surroundings, he drifts from beatless soundscapes to more upbeat movements, employing a dynamism and drive that can be sourced to his origins as a percussionist. Throughout the whole of his Apollo debut Lever retains an impressive restraint, a maturity and sureness of mind that allows him to paint pictures in sound so vivid that they take the listener to a wholly different place each time, a beautiful collection of tracks in it’s own right and a stunning debut that suggests a big future lies ahead for Bering Strait.
