SOMA — A Myth of Return, From the Aughts

A 2025 debut album from FakeFalse

As Leonardo da Vinci once said:
"Art is never finished, only abandoned."

As such, there are songs that do not die.
They simply slip underground, waiting...
Like dormant seeds, resting in the soil for just the right season.

SOMA is the awakening from that circadian rhythm.

Written a lifetime ago, back in 2008; these songs were early echoes, carried by my younger self who didn’t yet know what they were trying to say. For years they slept, folded in silence, gathering the dust of memory… until the moment arrived to call them back.

Finally, I've opened the vault, and they have answered my call.

Reborn through warm circuitry, drifting pads, and low-lit pulses of electronic and ambient dream-pop, these songs emerged again. This time clearer, fuller, shimmering with a maturity they once reached for but could not quite grasp.

But every myth needs its voice.

Supporting vocalist Amica provides the essential human element, demonstrating a remarkable sensitivity for this unique confluence, ensuring her sultry, jazzy delivery glides perfectly atop the deep house's late-night pulse, complementing the retro house-electro-funk-jazz arrangement into a luxurious and cohesive late-night soundscape.

This album is a bridge:
between the past and the present,
between the self that dreamed and the self that creates, and
between silence and sound.

If SOMA has any purpose, it is to remind us that nothing is truly lost or ever gone.
It's always there with us. Simpy waiting to be invited back in.
