Endorphin | Skin

The second album for this chap from North Queensland, Australia combines a mish-mash of trip-hop beats, electronic music and drum and bass. Although this is his second album, Endorphin a.k.a Eric Chapus is not new to the industry. Chapus has secured the support slots on tours with big dance names like Massive Attack, Portishead and Faithless and has also written and recorded two hours of music for an four-part extreme sports documentary, “Adventure World” for Australian channel “Seven Network”. He has also remixed the sounds of Men At Work and Stella One Eleven.

Despite all the other projects Chapus has undertaken, he manages to come up with “Skin”, the culmination of 18 months of frantic creativity for the man. “Skin is about doing it hard in Sydney, basically”, laughs Chapus, who moved into the metropolis after recording his first album, ‘Embrace”. He goes on to explain the change was not a deliberate one, but rather one which stems from moving out into the city, touring, and doing a lot of projects and gigs.

You can also expect an interesting array of backup vocals in “Skin”. Cindy Ryan from Stella One Eleven has lent her vocals to “Afterwords”, while Tammy Brennan from Pavo Christatus can be heard on “Anguish” and “Time”. Perhaps the most interesting vocal comes from Chapus’s three-year-old daughter Zoe on the track going by the same name, and his girlfriend Sabina on “skin” which made that track even more personal to Endorphin. That, plus the blending of Beethoven’s famous “Moonlight Sonata” amidst trip-hop and jungle breakbeats in the opening track , “Blue Moon” ensures a listening experience not to be missed.
