Atlantic Oscillations

Atlantic Oscillations marks a significant pivot in Will Holland's career, representing his first solo Quantic album in five years and his first since relocating to Brooklyn. Moving away from the heavy Cumbia focus of his Colombian years, this record serves as a synthesis of his global travels, blending his signature funk and soul roots with sophisticated orchestral arrangements and 'broken beat' influences. Recorded at his Selva Studios, the album features a high degree of live instrumentation, including a full string section and collaborations with vocalists like Alice Russell and Nidia Góngora. Critics, notably AllMusic, praised the album for its maturity and the seamless way it integrates disparate genres like disco, highlife, and spiritual jazz into a cohesive whole. It stands as one of his most polished productions, trading raw grit for a shimmering, hi-fi clarity that highlights his growth as a composer and arranger.
