EGO

Shimmering indie-pop tapestries where warm analog synths and clean guitar lines meet a revolving door of guest vocalists. A polished, sunset-hued exploration of self.

EGO is the sonic equivalent of a perfectly exposed photograph taken during the last hour of a July afternoon. It is an album that feels expensive and meticulously crafted, yet it retains a core of indie-pop earnestness that keeps it grounded. André Allen Anjos moves away from the dancefloor-ready remixes that made him famous, instead constructing a sprawling, 14-track narrative that feels more like a curated gallery of modern pop styles than a standard electronic LP.

Moments Worth Listening For
the transition from the glitchy intro of This Song into Rostam's unmistakable breathy delivery
the way the bassline in I Still Wanna Know locks into a tight, disco-influenced pocket against the bright synths
the melancholic, stripped-back piano opening of The Beautiful Game before the electronic beat swells
