On "Dancing Gods," Nauci Gold confidently enters a new sound and a new mode of storytelling. It's a liberatory, spiritually touched, and musically adventurous mission. The single is the first installment of his upcoming album, "The Days We Left Behind." If this track is any indication, we're in for an emo and musically adventurous time.
Canary Islander Nauci Gold has made genre-fluid music in nu-soul, jazz, and electronic realms. But "Dancing Gods" pushes those boundaries even further. Here, twinkling in the distance, Afrobeat rhythms throb beneath an air-born swirl of nu-jazz and electronic textures in a space where archaic spirituality meets contemporary feeling.
The theme of "Dancing Gods" is inspired by Shiva and his dance, which symbolizes the creation and destruction of the universe. Nauci can wittily look at how love is cyclical in a metaphor like this. The song is an action-replay of a relationship's one-way ticket from meet cute to meet screw, where ecstasy and agony are intertwined, and there can be just as much beauty in the making of the bond as in the breaking.
His voice, unmistakably the focus, wafts like smoke through thick layering. It's a conduit for humility. There's an aching humanity in the way he inflects every note, letting you melt into the emotional gravity of the piece without getting bogged down.
"Dancing Gods" is the sound of someone who has finally accepted the inevitable impermanence of love, who doesn't believe in permanence so much as in the dance. This single raises the bar as a first fair representation of "The Days We Left Behind." Nauci Gold is constructing temples. And now, with "Dancing Gods," he welcomes us all into the room, if only for a little while.
