Braulio Lam's Close-Up is a captivating soundscape that blurs the lines between music and photography. Hailing from the border region between San Diego and Tijuana, Lam's inspiration stems from the vibrant cultural exchange and diverse musical traditions of the area. His creativity as a music producer and photographer converges seamlessly into this album, where he manipulates images and sounds, using light as a catalyst for his sonic experiments. The album's eight tracks showcase Lam's eclectic sonic palette, ranging from electronica and dub techno to ambient and trip hop. The opening track, 'Prologue,' sets the stage with a haunting guitar echo and a spacious, downtempo beat. Angelic vocals float ethereal over the sonic backdrop, creating a sense of scenic grandeur. 'Cinestill' immerses listeners in a sub-aquatic realm with its slow-pulsing beat and cavernous ambiance. 'Buena Vista Social Dub' captivates with its sensual vocals, echoing drums, and hypnotic melody. 'Monika' evokes a sense of beachy tranquility with its electric guitar and ambient soundscapes, while 'Mirror' transports listeners into an atmospheric swirl of broken beats and ambient textures. 'Eastman' delves into the depths of dub techno, its hypnotic chords and airy soundscapes creating an otherworldly atmosphere. 'Winter Light,' showcases Lam's mastery of minimalism. Field recordings of natural sounds, sparse guitar plucks, and evocative imagery paint a stark but beautiful soundscape that lingers long after
