Philadelphia-based Steve Sperry previous enjoyed a career as a biochemical process engineer but has more recently pivoted to focus his energy creating genre-fluid electronic music. His creative mission sees him explore the fringes of sound design, resulting in a sound that’s entirely original.
Influenced by the melodic output of early 2000s house and electronic music, Sperry seeks to filter that timeless essence through his own modern sonic lens. First making his entrance in 2022, he dropped his debut single “Lidingö,” followed up by singles two and three in the build up to his debut record titled Then and Now and Now Is Then, last year which featured three collaborative tracks with the artist vidpoet.
Since then he’s shared more singles and further showcased his collaborative spirit by working with artists such as Abstraktius Artimus and Dr. Michio Kaku. Now he brings us his latest release with the new single titled “Searching for Peace,” this time linking up with Summer Lee Carlson, an American singer currently based in Cambodia.
The pair first connected via an online artist community and instantly bonded over their shared sonic passions. With plans to continue their musical relationship, “Searching for Peace” serves up the first taste of this exciting partnership.
Opened by vibrant instrumental flourishes, electronic textures and buzzy synths drift in as Summer’s soaring vocals rise above. Capturing an electronic pop sound with experimental approach, the production of Steve Sperry crafts an immersive and constantly surprising soundscape as the soulful voice of Summer Lee Carlson threads stunning melodic leads to deliver an accessible aesthetic of alluring, soulful music.
A sparse beat of punching kicks and tapped cymbals inject a subtly danceable energy as the shifting timbres of synths modulate and filter throughout. With a lo-fi vibe and shades of 8-bit charm, “Searching for Peace” is a playful, uplifting and and instantly catchy outing that sees the creativity and inventive production of Steve Sperry collide with the vocal panache of Summer Lee Carlson in spectacular fashion.
