Eric Demuro - Ara Macao / Freedom Layers (Pilchard Rounds)
'Freedom Layers (Pilchard Rounds)' (out now) is the first single from Venetian bassist and producer Eric Demuro’s upcoming album, 'Simulacra'. Built on elastic bass lines, warm Rhodes textures, and loose, patient percussion, the track moves with an unhurried sense of motion. Rather than leaning on nostalgia, it reshapes 70s-informed groove into something grounded and present, balancing subtle cinematic atmosphere with a steady pulse that feels intimate, tactile, and quietly transportive.
Built on layered percussion, marimba, bass, and rhythmic synths, second single 'Ara Macao' (out May 8th) unfolds with a dense, rainforest-like energy - lush but anchored in groove. The track moves with a hypnotic pulse while Fanni Zahár’s flute rises in the final section, cutting through the arrangement with a bright, soaring presence. Drawing from 70s-informed rhythm and exploratory production, the track blends tradition and experimentation without leaning into nostalgia.
Eric Demuro's 'Simulacra' arrives June 5th 2026 on Bastard Jazz. An album promo will follow in due course, but let me know if you'd like an early preview for review.
