With “Journey Backwards”, German sound sculptor Lemongrass (alias Roland Voss) paints a golden-hued tapestry of LoFi dreams and mellow memories. Like pages from a cherished travel diary, each of the 10 tracks unfurls with gentle rhythm and heartfelt nostalgia, carrying listeners on a breeze of warmth, wonder, and wistful joy.
This enchanting album follows in the footsteps of Lemongrass’s earlier LoFi gems – yet it blooms with a new, luminous grace. Rooted in dusty beats, delicate harmonies, and a subtle vintage charm, “Journey Backwards” is a sonic garden where each track opens like a flower kissed by the morning sun.
Highlights abound – among them five glimmering singles that dance like sunbeams on still water:
Finca Del Sol – a tranquil breeze through lemon groves and sunlit terraces
French Dinner – velvet evenings wrapped in candlelight and soft jazz whispers
Around Me – a hypnotic city stroll, where heartbeats echo in lo-fi
Grand Canyon Du Verdon – vast, majestic, and carved from memory’s sandstone
Coco Beach – a hammock in paradise, swaying to the rhythm of a tide in love
And nestled among these treasures is Shibuya Cafe, a sublime pause in the neon hush of Tokyo – a track that gently stirs the soul with its serene elegance and Far Eastern flair.
“Journey Backwards” is more than an album – it is a sun-drenched escape, a soft-focus voyage through places seen, felt, and dreamed. Lemongrass offers not just music, but a mood – a sweet retreat for weary minds and wandering hearts.
Let yourself drift backward, gently, beautifully.
